If There Be That Skills to Reckon (EN 5450)

EN 5450 If There Be That Skills to Reckon

Heb.4.9

Versi Version 1

1

If there be that skills to reckon

All the number of the blest,

He perchance can weigh the gladness

Of the everlasting rest,

Which, their earthly exile finished,

They by merit have possessed.

2

Through the vale of lamentation

Happily and safely past,

Now the years of their affliction

In their memory they recast,

And the end of all perfection

They can contemplate at last.

3

There the gifts of each and single

All in common right possess;

There each member hath his portion

In the Body’s blessedness;

So that he, the least in merits,

Shares the guerdon none the less.

4

In a glass through types and riddles

Dwelling here, we see alone;

Then serenely, purely, clearly,

We shall know as we are known,

Fixing our enlightened vision

On the glory of the throne.

5

There the Trinity of Persons

Unbeclouded shall we see;

There the Unity of Essence

Perfectly revealed shall be;

While we hail the Threefold Godhead

And the simple Unity.

6

Wherefore, man, take heart and courage,

Whatsoe’er thy present pain;

Such untold reward through suffering

Thou may’st merit to attain;

And for ever in His glory

With the Light of light to reign.
