THE HEAVENLY LAND
LAUS PATRIAE CCELESTIS.
Qualia ? Plena,
Plena refeitio, nullaque paffio,
nullaque poena.
Spe modo vivitur, et Syon angitur
a Babylone ;
hinc jubilaeus.

I shall distinguish
Him the Sole Beautiful, whom the true dutiful
never relinquish.
Jacob with Israel and Leah with Rachel then
change condition;
Then Sion's palace halls rise where no malice falls,
lift to completion.

Eft tibi laurea, dos datur aurea,
Sponfa decora ;
infpicis ora :
lux fpeciofa :
THE HEAVENLY LAND. g
Sweet wines there flow for us, jewels there glow for
us, radiant ever.
Laurels and golden toys better than olden joys thou
there shalt gather:
Yet in thy deference Jesus hath preference, His art
thou rather.
Lilies like driven snow, gems set in even row, wait
for thy wearing.
That Lamb is still with thee, that Spouse is still with
thee, clear light declaring.

O fine lite,

Gratia coelica fuftinet unica

Search for thee, care for thee, love, hope and prayer
for thee, is my vocation.
Not through my good I crave, for nothing good I
have, death is my merit ;
yet dying :
omnia mundans :
cernere praefta,
Ut videam bona, feftaque confona,
coelica fefta.
