O sweet and blessed country, shall I ever see thy face ?, anonymous, after Lafou, c. 1860 - in or before 1865
This work belongs to O mother dear, Jerusalem! (RP-F-2001-7-1027)
-
O mother dear, Jerusalem! -
St. Augustine and his mother -
Take me to thy Jerusalem and place me with thy saints! -
But we that are in banishment continually do moan -
There, there the quier of angels sing -
Crucifixus -
Cujus portae, lignum crucis -
Short toil, eternal rest ! -
What radiancy of glory, what light beyond compare! -
O sweet and blessed country, shall I ever see thy face ? -
Sickness cannot touch the deathless, nor old age the ever young -
They in their hands, as white as milke, of palme triumphant branches… -
Our ladie singes magnificat, with tunes surpassinge sweete
