Hymn Context Compare
There shall be no more pain,
There shall be no more pain,
And one clear call for me!
Oh, hark to the groan­ing:
Stumbling along with no shel­ter to win?
There in speech­less ang­uish groan­ing,
Far be­yond the sha­dows, dark­en­ing this,
In the won­der­ful love of God.
And the skies are ev­er bright.
In the won­der­ful love of God.
O Home­land! O Home­land!
Their new and ten­der leaf;
Christ in His Word draws near;
Must yield the King His own.
Hark the sigh­ing of the pri­son­ers,
Through her soul, in ang­uish groan­ing,
While my bones waxed weak and old;
Sin and death may well be groan­ing,
Ere that reck­on­ing day’s con­clu­sion!
Ere that day of re­tri­bu­tion!

moan­ing

With ev­er­last­ing gain,
With ev­er­last­ing gain,
When I put out to sea.
Unceasing the ang­uish,
Hopeless and aim­less with no thought of pray­er?
Through her soul the sword had gone.
Lies the sum­mer land of bliss.
Broods this won­der­ful love of God;
And its bil­lows’ cease­less roll,
Broods this won­der­ful love of God;
No cry­ing of the wea­ry,
That told of win­ter’s grief.
He bids thee cease:
Which be­fore were all un­known!
No, again, and loud­er, clear­er,
Passed the sharp and pierc­ing sword.
And to Thee, O God, was cold.
We, our full sal­va­tion own­ing,
All my shame with ang­uish own­ing:
All my shame with ang­uish own­ing:
