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.
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!
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.
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.
