Brief life is here our portion

Author: Bernard of Cluny Appears in 249 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life is there. O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals, and for sinners A mansion with the blest! 2 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown; And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Zion in her anguish With Babylon must cope; 3 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, And shadows shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day. 4 There grief is turned to pleasure, Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know. There God, our king and portion, In fullness of His grace, Shall we behold for ever, And worship face to face. 5 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest.
