Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned.
Isaiah 40:2

Music: Orlando William J. Kirkpatrick (🔊 pdf nwc).
Our warfare will soon be accomplished,
Its triumph we soon shall behold,
Eternity’s veil will be lifted,
And Eden its beauty unfold.
Refrain
Our warfare will soon be accomplished,
Before the white throne we shall stand,
And sing hallelujah forever,
With harps and with palms in our hands.
Our warfare will soon be accomplished,
Our armor we soon shall resign,
And go, with our trophies, to Jesus,
Like stars in His kingdom to shine.
Refrain
Our warfare will soon be accomplished,
The dawn of its ending we see,
Already our souls are enraptured
With visions of what we shall be.
Refrain
The Master our place is preparing,
And soon from His lips will be heard
The blessèd Well done, O ye faithful,
;
Now enter the joy of your Lord.
