For Those We Love Within the Veil (EN 4811)

EN 4811 For Those We Love Within the Veil

1Cor.2.9

Versi Version 1

1

For those we love within the veil,

Who once were comrades of our way,

We thank Thee, Lord; for they have won

To cloudless day.

2

And life for them is life indeed,

The splendid goal of earth’s strait race;

And where no shadows intervene

They see Thy face.

3

Not as we knew them any more,

Toil worn, and sad with burdened care:

Erect, clear eyed, upon their brows

Thy Name they bear.

4

Free from the fret of mortal years,

And knowing now Thy perfect will,

With quickened sense and heightened joy,

They serve Thee still.

5

O fuller, sweeter is that life,

And larger, ampler is the air:

Eye cannot see nor heart conceive

The glory there;

6

Nor know to what high purpose Thou

Dost yet employ their ripened powers,

Nor how at Thy behest they touch

This life of ours.

7

There are no tears within their eyes;

With love they keep perpetual tryst;

And praise and work and rest are one

With Thee, O Christ.
