Brief Life Is Here Our Portion

"For here we no continuing city, but we seek one to come." - Heb 13:14

THE CHURCH OF GOD• 6 VERSES

VERSE 1

Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there.

Oh happy retribution:
Short toil, eternal rest:
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the bless'd.

And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown:

But He, whom now we trust in,
Shall then be seen and known:
And they, that know and see Him,
Shall have Him for their own.

The morning shall awaken,
The shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.

There God, our King and Portion
In fullness of His grace
Shall we behold for ever,
And worship face to face.
