cum sanctis perenniter,
Paradisum introire,
translati in requiem.

THE HOUSE OF GOD
278. Lord of our life, and God of our salvation
Philip Pusey, 1799-1855
Based on Matthäus von Löwenstern, 1594-1648
One of the “songs of the night,” the original of which was written out of the bitter experiences of the Thirty Years’ War in Germany. It tells of the peril to which the Reformed Church was then exposed but expresses confidence that the church, founded upon the Rock, will prevail against evil.
