Soon and forever the breaking of day

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #587 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Soon and forever the breaking of day Shall chase all the night-clouds of sorrow away; Soon and forever we’ll see as we’re seen, And learn the deep meaning of things that have been-- Where fightings without, and conflicts within Shall weary no more in the warfare with sin-- Where tears, and where fears, and where death shall be never, Christians with Christ shall be soon and forever. 2 Soon and forever--such promise our trust-- Though ashes to ashes and dust be to dust, Soon and forever our union shall be Made perfect, our glorious Redeemer, in Thee; When the cares and the sorrow of time shall be o'er, Its pangs and its partings remember'd no more, Where life cannot fail and where death cannot sever, Christians with Christ shall be soon and forever. 3 Soon and forever the work shall be done, The warfare accomplish'd, the victory won; Soon and forever the soldier lay down His sword for a harp, the cross for a crown; Then droop not in sorrow, despond not in fear, A glorious to-morrow is brightening and near. When--blesséd reward for each faithful endeavor-- Christians with Christ shall be soon and forever. Topics: Eternity; Heaven soon and forever Languages: English
