Words: Thomas à Kempis (sometime in the 1400’s); translated to English by John M. Neale, 1866 (ed. Tim Johnson)
lyrics
Light’s abode, celestial Salem, Vision whence true peace doth spring,
Brighter than the heart can fathom, Mansion of the highest King;
There for ever and for always alleluia is outpoured
For unending and unbroken is the feast day of the Lord;
All is pure and all is holy that within Thy walls is stored.
Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One,
There no cloud, no passing vapor, dims the brightness of the air;
Endless noonday, glorious noonday, from the Sun of suns is there;
O how glorious and resplendent, fragile body, thou shalt be,
When endued with so much beauty, full of health, and strong, and free,
Full of vigor, full of pleasure that shall last eternally!
Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One,
Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One,
Now with gladness, now with courage, bear the burden on thee laid,
That hereafter these thy labors may with endless gifts be paid,
And in everlasting glory thou with brightness be arrayed.
