O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be

Peter Abelard • J. M. Neale (1854) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 48

Verse 1

Oh, what their joy and their glory must be, those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see! Crowns for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all, ever blest.

Verse 2

In new Jerusalem joy shall be found, blessings of peace shall forever abound; wish and fulfillment are not severed there, nor the things prayed for come short of the pray'r.

Verse 3

We, where no troubles distraction can bring, safely the anthems of Zion shall sing; while for Your grace, Lord, their voices of praise Your blessed people shall evermore raise.

Verse 4

Now let us worship our Lord and our King, joyfully raising our voices to sing: Praise to the Father, and praise to the Son, praise to the Spirit, to God, Three in One.
