Читать книгу Loved from Eternity - D. E. Young - Страница 6

You suffered Him to die,

Your own beloved Son.

You gave Him up for us,

for every chosen one.

You did not let Him see

corruption or decay.

You made His suff’rings end

upon that awful day.

He was not cast aside

as if He had no worth.

He had a burial

within the kindly earth

which He Himself had made

and set upon its way,

in honor laid to rest

upon that awful day.

So will You end for those

whom You forever love

their shame and their disgrace

when they meet You above.

We will not suffer on

In agony alway.

But little time until

that glad, eternal Day.

For You will raise us up

in image like to Him.

And we shall see our God

apart from shadows dim,

forever like to Him

Whom we alone adore

To be with Trinity

forever, ever more.
