There’s Peace and Rest in Paradise (EN 2434)

EN 2434 There’s Peace and Rest in Paradise

Isa.59.19

Versi Version 1

1

There’s peace and rest in paradise,

In weary hours we say;

And oh that we had wings like doves

That we might flee away!

2

For here so strong the evil seems,

So weak appears the good,

Our standard wavers in the rush

Of evil, like a flood.

3

At times, through the long lonely watch,

Nor sun nor moon appears;

Without, incessant fightings are,

Within, incessant fears.

4

Then for the quiet land we long,

And the abode of peace;

And for the word, “Come, weary soul,

From war and vigil cease!”

5

But in our stronger hours we grasp

The warrior’s sword again,

And burn the good fight yet to fight,

The faithful watch maintain.

6

We fain would tread the famous way

Martyrs and saints have trod;

The hours ebb fast of this one day

Of noblest war for God!

7

The Lord Himself hath need of us;

On! till the fight be won;

And the King’s words shall thrill the heart:

“Servant of God, well done!”
