638 ST ALPHEGE 7.6.7.6.

Henry J. Gauntlett, 1852

2 O happy retribution!

Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!

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

And passionless renown;

4 And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Zion in her anguish

With Babylon must cope;

DENNIS S. M.

5 But 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.

6 The morning shall awaken,
And shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.

7 Yes, God, my King and Portion,
In fulness of His grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face.

Bernard of Cluny, c. 1145. Trans. by Rev. John M. Neale, 1851: verse 6, line 1, alt.
