Hymn 65
William Cowper
8,7,8,7
The future peace and glory of the church.
Isa 60:15-20 Hear what God the LORD hath spoken, O my people, faint and few; Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you: Themes of heart–felt tribulation Shall no more perplex your ways; You shall name your walls, Salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. | There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures, without end, shall flow; For the LORD, your faith rewarding, All his bounty shall bestow: 83 Still in undisturbed possession, Peace and righteousness shall reign; Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. | Ye no more your suns descending, Waning moons no more shall see, But your griefs, for ever ending, Find eternal noon in me: God shall rise, and shining o’er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your glory, GOD your everlasting light. | |
