Proffered Promise

[Continuing the idea of a hymn for Sundays]

No pain, and not in need;
completely blessed, and freed
from evil, sin and all
brought on us by the fall.
    Certain hope:
    we know Christ is there;
    Jesus has promised
    our home to prepare.

No fault, or weariness;
temptations cannot press;
no sight of wickedness;
no discontent, distress.

There goodness is complete;
and fellowship so sweet
with God, and with his Son:
we’ll see him on the throne.

With all God’s saints we’ll praise;
fulfilled for endless days;
pure joy, and glory, rest;
in perfect service blest.
    Certain hope,
    beyond all compare;
    righteous, rejoicing,
    and worshipping there.
