Childhood's hours

Hymnal: Linden Harp #78 (1855) Hymnal Title: Linden Harp First Line: Amid the blue and starry sky Refrain First Line: Remember, children of the earth Lyrics: 1 Amid the blue and starry sky, A group of hours one ev'n, Met as they took their upward flight Into the highest heav'n. Refrain: Remember, children of the earth, Each hour is on it way, Bearing its own report to heav'n, Of all you do and say. 2 They all were merry childhood's hours, That just had left the earth, Winging their way above the world That gave to them their birth. [Refrain] 3 And they were going up to heav'n, With all that had been done By little children, good or bad, Since the last rising sun. [Refrain] 4 And some had gold and purple wings, Some droop'd like fading flowers; And sadly soar'd to tell the tale, That they were misspent hours. [Refrain] 5 Some glow'd with rosy hopes and smiles, And some had many a tear; Others had unkind words and acts To carry upward there. [Refrain] 6 A shining hour, with golden plumes, Was laden with a deed Of generous sacrifice, a child Had done for one in need. [Refrain] 7 And one was bearing up a prayer, A little child had said; All full of penitence and love, While kneeling by his bed. [Refrain] 8 And thus they glided on, and gave Their records dark and bright, To Him who marks each passing hour Of childhood's day and night. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CHILDHOOD'S HOURS
