هل لقاء نجتنيه

Representative Text

1 - هل لقاءٌ نجتنيهِ
عندَ فادينا الحبيبْ
مَن حياةُ النفسِ فيهِ
وهو للقلبِ نِعمَ النصيبْ

القرار
كيف لا والربُّ صرَّحْ
أننا معهُ نكونْ
في ديارِ المجدِ نفرحْ
كلُّنا أيها المؤمنونْ

2 - هل نلاقي كلَّ مؤمنْ
ثمَّ في دارِ النعيمْ
والمسيحُ الرب يُعلنْ
سرَّ مجدٍ جليلٍ عظيمْ

3 - هل نرى نهراً صفاهُ
راقَ لوناً كالزجاجْ
حيث يعطينا الإلهُ
ثوبَ بِرٍّ نقيٍّ وتاجْ

4 - ليتَ شِعْري هل نُؤدي
ثمَّ ترتيلَ السرورْ
إذ مسيحُ الله يُبدي
كلَّ حبٍّ لدهرِ الدهورْ

5 - عن قريبٍ سوف نُبصِرْ
ما نرجوهُ بالعَيانْ
إذ كتابُ الحقِّ يُخبِرْ
قائلاً إننا لا نُدانْ
