eternal joy
Perpetual deep contentment
Eternal joy is a state of happiness imagined as lasting forever, free from the fluctuations of ordinary emotion.
The phrase appears most often in religious contexts, describing the bliss promised in an afterlife: The faithful shall know eternal joy in heaven.
Outside theology, it carries a note of idealism or hyperbole—something aspired to rather than experienced.
