How vain is all beneath the skies!
How transient every earthly bliss! How slender all the fondest ties That bind us to a world like this!
The evening cloud, the morning dew,
The withering grass, the fading flower, Of earthly hopes are emblems true- The glory of a passing hour.
But though earth's fairest blossoms die,
And all beneath the skies is vain, There is a land whose confines lie Beyond the reach of care and pain.
Then let the hope of joys to come
Dispel our cares, and chase our fears; If Cod be ours, we're traveling home, Though passing through a vale of tears.
How vain is all beneath the skies! |
