#441: Oh, Happy Day When We Shall Stand
Melody is this one, and again, the last line is just a repeat of the fourth.
The middle verses have some stretch rhymes: come/home, Lord/prepared (more interesting than Lord/Word, but also...what), flood/good, peace/grace. Maybe I should start a tag for "translation by committee" i.e. no one wants to take responsibility for how it turned out. ;)
The image of a flood of "joy and love and peace" and also "good and blessedness and grace" is interesting; the use of water in the flood is connected with other aquatic Bible stories in the baptism liturgy.
This section has now reached its...end time.
