Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Laudes Domini #438 (1888) Scripture: Psalm 112:6 First Line: Earth's transitory things decay Lyrics: 1 Earth's transitory things decay;
Its pomps, its pleasures pass away;
But the sweet memory of the good
Survives in the vicissitude.
2 As, 'mid the ever-rolling sea,
The eternal isles established be,
'Gainst which the surges of the main
Fret, dash, and break themselves in vain;--
3 As in the heavens, the urns divine
Of golden light for ever shine;
Tho' clouds may darken, storms may rage,
They still shine on from age to age;--
4 So, through the ocean tide of years,
The memory of the just appears;
So, through the tempest and the gloom,
The good man's virtues light the tomb. Topics: Christians Privileges; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Languages: English Tune Title: WARRINGTON
