7.6.7.6.D. - Trochaic Tunes1.
Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there.
2.
O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the bless’d!
3.
And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown.
4.
And 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.
5.
The morning shall awaken,
The shadows shall decay
And each true hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
6.
There God, our King and Portion,
In fullness of His grace,
Shallwe behold forever,
And worship face to face.
Amen
