<p>Joy and triumph everlasting<br>
Hath the heav&#8217;nly Church on high;<br>
For that pure immortal gladness<br>
All our feast days mourn and sigh:<br>
Yet in death&#8217;s dark desert wild<br>
Doth the mother aid her child;<br>
Guards celestial thence attend us,<br>
Stand in combat to defend us.</p>
<p>Here the world&#8217;s perpetual warfare<br>
Holds from heav&#8217;n the soul apart;<br>
Legioned foes in shadowy terror<br>
Vex the Sabbath of the heart.<br>
O how happy that estate<br>
Where delight doth not abate!<br>
For that home the spirit yearneth,<br>
Where none languisheth nor mourneth.</p>
<p>There the body hath no torment,<br>
There the mind is free from care,<br>
There is every voice rejoicing,<br>
Every heart is loving there.<br>
Angels in that city dwell;<br>
Them their King delighteth well:<br>
Still they joy and weary never,<br>
More and more desiring ever.</p>
<p>There the seers and fathers holy,<br>
There the prophets glorified,<br>
All their doubts and darkness ended,<br>
In the Light of Light abide.<br>
There the saints, whose memories old<br>
We in faithful hymns uphold,<br>
Have forgot their bitter story<br>
In the joy of Jesus&#8217; glory.</p>
