EN 2785 In Paradise Reposing
Matt.2.16
Versi Version 1
1
In paradise reposing,
By life’s eternal well,
The tender lambs of Jesus
In greenest pastures dwell.
2
There palms and tiny crownlets
Aglow with brightest gem,
Bedeck the baby martyrs
Who died in Bethlehem.
3
With them the rose-wreathed army
Of children undefiled,
Who passed through mortal torments
For love of Christ the Child;
4
With them in peace unending,
With them in joyous mirth,
Are all the stainless infants
Which since have gone from earth.
5
The angels, once their guardians,
Their fellows now in grace,
With them, in love adoring,
See God the Father’s face.
6
The lullaby to hush them
In that eternal rest,
Is sweet angelic singing,
Their nurses mothers blest.
7
O Jesu, loving Shepherd,
Who tenderly dost bear
Thy lambs in Thine own bosom,
Bring us to join them there.
