في المواطن البهية عبر وادي الدموع

Representative Text

1 في المواطن البهيهْ
عبرَ ذا وادي الدموعْ
راحةُ النفسِ العليهْ
إذ شراها لي يسوعْ

قرار
راحةُ المتعبينَ
راحةُ المتعبينَ

راحة لنا
في المواطن البهيهْ
عبر وادي البليهْ
راحةٌ مسيحيهْ
راحةٌ لنا

2 قد أعد لي مكاناً
أبدياً في العلاءْ
حيثما ألقى أماناً
وسروراً وصفاءْ

3 مات عنا الموتُ حقاً
بعد شوكةِ الخطاءْ
وحِجابُ الأرض شُقّا
عن مصابيح السماءْ

4 ليس في دار السلامِ
مِن كروبٍ أو عناءْ
إنها خيرُ المُقامِ
لجميعِ الأصفياءْ
