1 Oh, what their joy and their glory must be,
those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see!
Crowns for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be all, and in all ever blest.
2 In new Jerusalem joy shall be found,
blessings of peace shall forever abound;
wish and fulfillment are not severed there,
nor the things prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 We, where no troubles distraction can bring,
safely the anthems of Zion shall sing;
while for your grace, Lord, their voices of praise
your blessed people shall evermore raise.
4 Now let us worship our Lord and our King,
joyfully raising our voices to sing:
praise to the Father, and praise to the Son,
praise to the Spirit, to God, Three in One.
