Ljá mér, Drottinn, ljós þitt bjarta
ljósaregn við röðulstíg
Þar
sem blómin blómgan skarta
og
brenna af ást þér einum til
Blómgast fræ af foldu vex það
finnur til og síðan deyr
Hjá
þér, Jesú, býrð því bústað
beð
sem enga kvöl sér meir
Ok mitt sæll á öxlum ber ég
illt
mér ekkert grandað fær
Lauga sál minn Kristur kær
Konungs við þinn dýrðarstól
Kór
Ljá
mér, Drottinn, ljós þitt bjarta
ljósaregn við röðulstíg
Þar
sem blómin blómgan skarta
og brenna af ást þér einum til
Where the Roses Never Fade
Rósin eina
Music by Robert Metzgar
Words by Janie West Metzgar, 1929
I
am going to a city,
Where the streets with gold are laid;
Where the tree of life is blooming
And the roses never fade.
Chorus:
Here they bloom but for a season
Soon their beauty is decayed.
I am going to a city,
Where the roses never fade.
In this world we have our troubles,
Satan snares we must evade.
We'll be free from all temptations;
Where the roses never fade.
Chorus:
Here
they bloom but for a season
soon
their beauty is decayed.
I
am going to a city,
Where
the roses never fade.
