Though nature's voice you must obey

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #448 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: On the death of a parent Lyrics: 1 Though nature's voice you must obey, Think, while your swelling griefs o'erflow, That hand, which takes your joys away, That sov'reign hand can heal your woe. 2 And, while your mournful thoughts deplore The parent gone, remov'd the friend! With hearts resign'd, his grace adore, On whom your nobler hopes depend. 3 Does he not bid his children come Through death's dark shades to realms of light? Yet, when he calls them to their home Shall fond survivors mourn their flight? 4 His word--here let your souls rely-- Immortal consolation gives: Your heav'nly Father cannot die, Th'eternal Friend for ever lives. 5 O be that best of friends your trust; On his almighty arm recline. He, when your comforts sink in dust, Can give you comforts more divine. Languages: English

Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #742 (1873) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill The closing buds on Zion's hill, When evening clouds draw thither; So sweet, so heavenly 'tis to see The members of one family Live peacefully together! 2 The children, like the lily flowers On which descend the sun and showers, Their hues of beauty blending; The parents, like the willow boughs On which the lovely foliage grows, Their friendly shade extending. 3 But leaves the greenest will decay, And flowers the brightest fade away, When autumn winds are sweeping; And be the household e'er so fair, The hand of death will soon be there, And turn the scene to weeping. 4 Yet leaves again will clothe the trees, And lilies wave beneath the breeze, When spring comes smiling hither; And friends, who parted at the tomb, May yet renew their loveliest bloom, And meet in heaven together.
