mf 2 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting

cr

And passionless renown;
And He, whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known,
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own.

cr 3 The morning shall awaken,
The shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
f Yes, God our King and Portion,
In fulness of His grace,
We there shall see for ever,
And worship face to face.

mf 4 0 sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!

dim Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest,

Who art, with God the Father

And Spirit, ever blest.

1469 The glory of God did lighten it, and the

Lamb is the light thereof.-REV. xxi, 23.

mf 1 JE With milk and honey blest, ERUSALEM the golden,

Beneath thy contemplation

Sink heart and voice oppressed:
I know not, O I know not,
What joys await us there,
What radiancy of glory,

What light beyond compare.

f 2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed

Are decked in glorious sheen.

f 3 There is the throne of David,
And there, from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast;
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
For ever and for ever

Are clad in robes of white.

mf 4 O fields that know no sorrow!

O state that fears no strife!

O princely bowers! O land of flowers!
O realm and home of life!

dim Jesus, in mercy bring us

Bernard of Morlaix, tr. J. M. Neale.

To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest.
