Oh, why despond in life's dark vale?

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:6-7 Lyrics: 1 Oh, why despond in life's dark vale? Why sink to fears a prey? Th' almighty power can never fail, His love can ne'er decay. 2 Behold, the birds that wing the air, Nor sow nor reap the grain: Yet God, with all a father's care, Relieves when they complain. 3 Behold the lilies of the field: They toil nor labor know; Yet royal robes to theirs must yield, In beauty's richest glow. 4 That God who hears the raven's cry, Who decks the lily's form, Will surely all your wants supply, And shield you in the storm. 5 Seek first his kingdom's grace to share, Its righteousness pursue: And all that needs your earthly care He will bestow on you.

For there’s only a step to the grave; Your life at the longest is only a span, And there’s only a step to the grave.
