For Thee, O Dear, Dear, Country (EN 6091)

EN 6091 For Thee, O Dear, Dear, Country

Rev.21.18

Versi Version 1

1

For thee, O dear, dear country,

Mine eyes their vigils keep;

For very love, beholding

Thy happy name, they weep.

The mention of thy glory

Is unction to the breast

And medicine in sickness

And love and life and rest.

2

O one, O only mansion,

O paradise of joy,

Where tears are ever banished

And smiles have no alloy!

The Lamb is all thy splendor,

The Crucified thy praise;

His laud and benediction

Thy ransomed people raise.

3

With jasper glow thy bulwarks,

Thy streets with emeralds blaze;

The sardis and the topaz

Unite in thee their rays;

Thine ageless walls are bonded

With amethyst unpriced;

The saints build up thy fabric,

The cornerstone is Christ.

4

Thou hast no shore, fair ocean;

Thou hast no time, bright day,

Dear fountain of refreshment

To pilgrims far away!

Upon the Rock of Ages

They raise thy holy tower;

Thine is the victor’s laurel

And thine the golden dower.

5

And now we fight the battle,

But then shall wear the crown

Of full and everlasting

And passionless renown:

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,

The shadows shall decay,

And each true-hearted servant

Shall shine as doth the day:

There God, our King and portion,

In fullness of His grace,

Shall we behold forever,

And worship face to face.

7

O sweet and blessed country,

The home of God’s elect!

O sweet and blessed country,

That eager hearts expect!

Jesus, in mercy bring us,

To that dear land of rest;

Who art, with God the Father,

And Spirit, ever blest.
