Sunday Songs

Listened to Peace Like a River after church as part of my Sunday playlist. One of the songs that always touches me is "Come, Let Us Anew." The final verse says:

Oh, that each in the day of His coming may say,

'I have fought my way through; I have finished the work thou didst give me to do.'

Oh, that each from his Lord may receive the glad word:

'Well and faithfully done;

'Enter into my joy and sit down on my throne;
'Enter into my joy and sit down on my throne.'

The music swells in this last verse, then fades as the choir repeats the last phrase: "Oh, that each from his Lord may receive the glad word: 'Well and faithfully done; Enter into my joy and sit down on my throne."

There's just something about the music and the lyrics that moves me; I find myself humming it for hours.
