Laus Patriæ Celestis.
9

And the Faithful, now Pilgrim, long torn by the Thorns,
Will inherit a World which all Beauty adorns;
And there, as they track its strange Streams to their Springs,
Will meet, Face to Face, with the King of all Kings.

Majesty, Wisdom, and sanctified Peace,
Shall rule in that Realm where Tumult shall cease,
And Leah and Rachel to Jacob shall bring
Their Pitchers celestial fresh-filled from the Spring:
And then, O our Syon, at Peace and at Rest,
He'll clasp in thy Halls his Beloved to his Breast.
