And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore: Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

My Church shall yet be dear to me, My fathers' and my own. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL
