O what their joy and their glory must be

Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, those endless sabbaths the blesséd ones see; crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all ever blest. 2 What are the Monarch, his court, and his throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? O that the blest ones, who in it have share, all that they feel could as fully declare. 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, 'Vision of peace', that brings joy evermore. Wish and fufilment can severed be ne'er, nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing, while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise thy blesséd people eternally raise. 5 There dawns no sabbath, no sabbath is o'er, those sabbath-keepers have one evermore; one and unending is that triumph-song which to the angels and us shall belong. 6 Now in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh; seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 7 Low before him with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son; through whom, the Spirit, with them ever One.
