EN 2253 We Praise Thee, Lord, for Hours of Bliss
Isa.25.8
Versi Version 1
1
We praise Thee, Lord for hours of bliss,
For days of quiet rest;
But O how seldom do we feel
That pain and tears are best!
2
We praise Thee for the shining sun,
For kind and gladsome ways:
When shall we learn, O Lord, to sing
Through weary nights and days!
3
Teach Thou our weak and wandering hearts
Aright to read Thy way;
That Thou with loving hand dost trace
Our path from day to day.
4
Then sorrow’s face shall be unveiled,
And we at last shall see
Her eyes are eyes of tenderness;
Her speech but echoes Thee!
5
Then every thorny crown of care
Worn well in patience now,
Shall prove a glorious diadem
Upon the faithful brow.
