So fades the lovely, blooming flower
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 137 hymnals Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely, blooming flower.
Frail, smiling solace of an hour;
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasure only blooms to die.
2 Is there no kind, no healing art,
To soothe the anguish of the heart?
Divine Redeemer, be thou nigh;
Thy comforts were not made to die.
3 Let gentle Patience smile on pain,
Till dying Hope revives again;
She wipes the tear from Sorrow's eye,
And Faith points upward to the sky. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: OSBORNE
So fades the lovely, blooming flower
Thus one by one our loved ones go
Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus one by one our loved ones go,
From year to year, from snow to snow;
The buds of springtime hardly bloom
Ere winter plucks them for the tomb.
2 The sweetest songsters soonest fly,
The fondest hopes the soonest die,
And harps but once to gladness strung
Are on the weeping-willows hung.
3 How much of grief, how little joy,
How little gold, how much alloy,
How many doubts, how many fears
Ye bring us, O ye passing years.
4 Though sorrow dims our vision here,
Faith points beyond this mortal sphere,
Where tears of anguish never flow,
Where pain and death none ever know.
