Joy's Eternal Address

A poem on Psalm 87

Only one joy will last

Only one unsurpassed

To love what God adores

And hate what He abhors

There is no other place

Nothing provides a trace

But God gives to His own

Contentment yet unknown


It calls me to pursue

And promises to renew

A new birth begins my quest

In Christ I first must rest

I will forever sing

An ever flowing spring

My joy will never end

Christ my eternal friend

Of joy I will be serious

Not at all mysterious

That God is nothing less

Than joy’s eternal address


The cross I will pursue

Bid all the world adieu

God has for me a home

From Christ I’ll never roam
