16495. All Is Bright And Cheerful Round Us

1 All is bright and cheer­ful round us,
All ab­ove is soft and blue;
Spring at last hath come and found us;
Spring and all its plea­sures too;
Every flow­er is full of glad­ness;
Dew is bright, and birds are gay;
Earth, with all its sin and sad­ness,
Seems a hap­py place to­day.

2 If the flow­ers, that fade so quick­ly,
If a day, that ends in night,
If the skies, that clouds so thick­ly
Often cov­er from our sight—
If they all have so much beau­ty,
What must be God’s land of rest,
Where His sons, that do their du­ty,
After ma­ny toils are blest?

3 There are leaves that nev­er wi­ther;
There are flow’rs that ne’er decay;
Nothing ev­il go­eth thi­ther;
Nothing good is kept away.
They that came from tri­bu­la­tion,
Washed their robes and made them white,
Out of ev­ery tongue and na­tion,
Now have rest, and peace, and light.
