Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #481 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy Lyrics: 1 The morning flow'rs display their sweets, And gay their silken leaves unfold, As careless of the noon-day heats, And fearless of the ev'ning cold. 2 Nipt by the wind's untimely blast, Parch'd by the sun's directer ray, The momentary glories waste, The short-liv'd beauties die away. 3 So blooms the human face divine, When youth its pride and beauty shows; Fairer than spring the colours shine And sweeter than the virgin rose. 4 O worn by slowly rolling years, Or broke by sickness in a day, The fading glory disappears, The short-liv'd beauties die away. 5 Yet these, new-rising from the tomb, With lustre brighter far shall shine; Revive with ever-during bloom, Safe from diseases and decline. 6 Let sickness blast and death devour, If heav'n must recompense our pains; Perish the grass, and fade the flow'r, If firm the word of God remains.
