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 Brighter World On High,
Beyond The Reach Of Care And Pain.
Then Let The Hope Of Joys To Come
Dispel Our Cares And Chase Our Fears;
If God Be Ours, We’re Traveling Home,
Though Passing Through A Vale Of Tears.
