Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXVII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials For the Burial of an Infant Lyrics: 1 As fades the lovely blooming flow'rs,
And with the winds do fly:
Just such are they who live but hours,
And only born to die.
2 It is beyond the greatest art,
to move that load of care;
It wounds the tender parent's heart,
Which nature has to bear.
3 O let the gospel then be night,
It is the strongest aid;
Such consolations never die,
That Christ shall raise the dead. Languages: English
As fades the lovely blooming flow'rs
