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!”
