Christians with Christ shall be soon and for ever.
3 Soon and for ever the work shall be done,
The warfare accomplished, the victory won;
Soon and for ever the soldier lay down
The sword for a harp, the cross for a crown:
Then droop not in sorrow, despond not in fear,
A glorious to-morrow is brightening and near,
When—blesséd reward for each faithful endeavor—
Christians with Christ shall be soon and for ever!
