Jesus Has Taken a Beautiful Bud
Author: James Rowe, 1865-1933 Meter: 10.7.10.7 with refrain Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Job 1:21 Refrain First Line: Gathering buds, gathering buds Lyrics: 1 Jesus has taken a beautiful bud,
Out of our garden of love,
Borne it away to the city of God,
Home of the angels above.
Chorus:
Gathering buds, gathering buds,
Wonderful care will be giv'n;
Jesus is gathering day after day,
Buds for the palace of heav'n.
2 Full blooming flowers alone will not do,
Some must be young and ungrown;
So the frail buds He is gathering, too,
Beautiful gems for His throne. [Chorus]
3 Fathers and mothers, weep not or be sad,
Still on the Savior rely;
You shall behold them again and be glad,
Beautiful flowers on high. [Chorus]
4 Blooming in beauty in heaven they are,
Blooming for you and for me;
Follow the Lord, tho' the city be far,
Till our bright blossoms we see. [Chorus] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Seasons, Days, Services Funeral Services Used With Tune: GATHERING BUDS

Job 1:21: Naked as from the earth we came
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Job 1:21 First Line: Naked as from the earth we came Lyrics:
Naked as from the earth we came,
and entered life at first;
Naked we to the earth return,
and mix with kindred dust.
Whate’er we fondly call our own
belongs to heav’n’s great Lord;
The blessings lent us for a day
are soon to be restored.
’Tis God that lifts our comforts high,
or sinks them in the grave:
He gives; and, when he takes away,
he takes but what he gave.
Then, ever blessed be his name!
his goodness swelled our store;
His justice but resumes its own;
’tis ours still to adore.
Job 1:21: Naked as from the earth we came
