O dear everlasting yonder abode,
Sure near thee shall vanish my earthly load.
My tears shall become a joyous applaud
With sheer gladness will I cling to your road
happiness,happiness it awaits me.
Yea, my happiness shall my Lord's face be.
Frustations and embrassments will fly,
When my fleshly robe within earth shall lie
My dear soul, in joy's zenith you will cry,
Happiness, happiness it awaits me.
Yea, my happiness shall His presence be.
O moment of death, it's just a brief pain
Its movement assists to great relief gain
Dear soul you'll escape earth's hurricane
Only when you're for your Lord's sake slain
Happiness, happiness it awaits you
Crist's happiness shall be your happiness too.
