Pleasures that earth can give
Never are unalloyed
Like to the happiness
That is in Heav’n enjoyed!
What are earth’s garments gay
Often so proudly shown?
Nothing compared to you
Beautiful robe and crown!
Beautiful robe! Beautiful crown!
What are the mines of earth?
What is the world’s renown?
Fashion’s adornments are
Ever with money bought
Heavenly garments bright
Only by faith are sought!
Land of the white-robed throng
And of the harp and palm
After the storms of life
Thine is a blessèd calm!
There may our every name
Surely be written down!
Striving are we for you
