Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- The roseate hues of early dawn, the brightness of the day,
- The crimson of the sunset sky, how fast they fade away!
- O for the pearly gates of Heav’n! O for the golden floor!
- O for the Sun of Righteousness that setteth nevermore!
- 2.
- The highest hopes we cherish here, how fast they tire and faint!
- How many a spot defiles the robe that wraps an earthly saint!
- O for a heart that never sins! O for a soul washed white!
- O for a voice to praise our King, nor weary day or night!
- 3.
- Here faith is ours, and heavenly hopes, and grace to lead us higher;
- But there are perfectness and peace beyond our best desire.
- O by Thy love and anguish, Lord, O by Thy life laid down,
- Grant that we fall not from Thy grace, nor cast away our crown!
Lyrics: Cecil F. Alexander, 1853
