CCXXIV. THE SAME.
Hymn 34.
[Come my partner in the patience]
Come my partner in the patience
Of our once afflicted King,
Out of all these tribulations
Rise with me His praise to sing:
For that happy day prepare,
And when our Desire comes down,
Sure as now His cross we share,
We shall then obtain His crown.
Of our once afflicted King,
Out of all these tribulations
Rise with me His praise to sing:
For that happy day prepare,
And when our Desire comes down,
Sure as now His cross we share,
We shall then obtain His crown.
When our lovely Lord appears,
Folding us in His embrace,
He shall wipe away the tears,
Kiss the sorrow from our face:
Though we in continual mourning
The short night of life employ,
Joy shall come with Christ returning,
Heavenly everlasting joy.
Folding us in His embrace,
He shall wipe away the tears,
Kiss the sorrow from our face:
Though we in continual mourning
The short night of life employ,
Joy shall come with Christ returning,
Heavenly everlasting joy.
O what cordial consolation
Doth this blessed hope afford!
We shall gain His full salvation,
We shall meet our smiling Lord:
We shall soon appear before Thee,
Shall the stars and sun outshine,
Shout among the sons of glory,
All immortal, all Divine.
Doth this blessed hope afford!
We shall gain His full salvation,
We shall meet our smiling Lord:
We shall soon appear before Thee,
Shall the stars and sun outshine,
Shout among the sons of glory,
All immortal, all Divine.

Jesus, our exalted Jesus,
Clothed in light, shall bow the sky,
Shall from all our griefs release us,
All our wants at once supply:
Grief, and curse, and death are over,
Pain and sin no more molest,
When we once the port recover,
Land on our Redeemer's breast.

Shall from all our griefs release us,

Grief, and curse, and death are over,
Pain and sin no more molest,
When we once the port recover,
Land on our Redeemer's breast.
Shall we there in plaintive passion
Our disastrous lot bewail,
There regret our separation
For a moment in the vale?
Or in Christ again united,
Heart to heart, and soul to soul,
Triumph each in each delighted,
While eternal ages roll?
Our disastrous lot bewail,
There regret our separation
For a moment in the vale?
Or in Christ again united,
Heart to heart, and soul to soul,
Triumph each in each delighted,
While eternal ages roll?
For this hope display'd before us
Bear we now the destined cross,
Waiting, till our Lord restore us,
Amply recompense our loss,
Crown our soul's supreme ambition,
Bid us hand in hand ascend,
Rapt into the blissful vision
Of our everlasting Friend.
