��Berkard of Cluny (12tli cent.).

Tr. Joii.v Mason Neale (1S18-1SCC).

��HiC BREVE VIVITUR.

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

happy retribution !

Short toil, eternal rest ; For mortals and for sinners

A mansion with the blest !

There grief is turned to pleasure,

Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter.

No human heart can know.

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 ;

��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 flee away. And each true-hearted servant

Shall shine as doth the day.

There God, our King and portion.

In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever.

And worship face to face.

sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect !

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.
