LyicsWhat wondrous, mighty work is this,
Unfolded by our Lord!
It gives our souls a taste for bliss,
To read his holy word.
Twas born in "heaven's immortal bowers,"
That blessed heaven above;
It gives us strength in lonely hours,
And is the work of love.
We have received by this bright theme,
A hope of lasting life,
Beyond the shore of death's dark stream,
Beyond this world of strife.
Tis far beyond the stars and sun,
That blissful heaven above;
There we can swell, when time is done,
By serving God in love.
Tis love unites God's Church on earth,
As it unites in heaven;
Then may we live to own his worth,
And love the law he's given.
Let every breast retain its joy,
Till Jesus from above
Call us where pain will ne'er annoy,
Where all is peace and love.
