 | 498: PERFECT eternal rest --- |  |
| 497: WHAT cheering words are these | 499: O WONDROUS Saviour! Jesus, Lord |
| P.M. (6.7.6.6.D.) sung to Repos Eternal 1 PERFECT eternal rest --- Ever to serve, adore Thee! During the endless day, Thee, Lord, Thy saints shall praise; Rapt, in mute ecstasy, Casting their crowns before Thee, Prone at Thy feet they fall, Anthems of joy to raise. 2 Thee shall we contemplate --- Gaze on Thy face adoring, Saviour and Bridegroom --- Lord, Beauty Supreme above! Sounding the soundless depths, Measureless heights exploring --- Heights of Thy peerless grace, Depths of Thy boundless love! 3 Jesus from Thee alone Borrowing light transcendent --- Sun, Thou, of Righteousness, Lending Thy lustrous rays --- Radiant, Thy bride shall wear, Through the long age resplendent, Glory immaculate --- Thine own perfection's blaze. 4 Us wilt Thou contemplate --- Pearl of Thy heart's deep longing, Travail of Thy lone soul, Fruit of Thy wondrous cross! Then wilt Thou rest in love! Thou wilt rejoice in singing, --- Rest in triumphant love, Singing for joy o'er us. |
