Brief life is here our portion
Author: Rev. J. M. Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #406a (1894) Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life is there!
O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest,
For mortals and for sinners,
A mansion with the blest!
2 There grief is turned to pleasure;
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know;
And after fleshly weakness,
And after this world's night,
And after storm and whirlwind,
Are calm,and joy, and light.
3 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown;
But He Whom now we trust in,
Shall then be seen and known,
And they that know and see Him,
Shall have Him for their own.
4 And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Sion in her anguish,
With Babylon must cope;
But there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glory;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow.
5 The morning shall awaken,
And shadows flee away,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day;
For God, our King and Portion,
In fullness of His grace,
We then shall see forever,
And worship face to face.
Amen.

And after storm and whirlwind,
Are calm and joy and light.
3 For thee, O dear, dear country!
Mine eyes their vigils keep;
For very love, beholding
Thy happy name they weep:
The mention of thy glory
Is unction to the breast,
And medicine in sickness,
And love, and life, and rest.
Amen. Topics: Brevity of Life; Christians Triumph of; Immortality Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, BOLTON

Author: Rev. John M. Neale; Bernard of Cluny Hymnal: The Hymnal #627 (1895) Lyrics:
1 Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life is there.
2 O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!
3 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown;
4 And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Zion in her anguish
With Babylon must cope;
5 But He, whom now we trust in,
Shall then be seen and known;
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own.
6 The morning shall awaken,
And shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
7 Yes, God, my King and Portion,
In fullness of His grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face.
Amen.

Author: G. Tabor Thompson Hymnal: Songs of Summerland #101 (1943) First Line: Brief life is her our portion Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
That life that knows no ending—
The tearless life, is there.
O happy retribution;
Short toil, eternal rest;
For ev’ry son of Adam
A mansion with the blest.
2 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown.
But they who now instruct us
Shall then be seen and known;
And they who know and see them
Shall have them for their own.
3 The morning shall awaken,
The shadows shall decay;
And each true hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
There father, mother, children,
Shall see each other’s face;
And we behold forever
A happy human race. Languages: English Tune Title: [Brief life is her our portion]
