How vain is all beneath the skies!

Author: David E. Ford Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #926 (1886) Lyrics: 1 How vain is all beneath the skies! How transient every earthly bliss! How splender all the fondest ties That bind us to a world like this! 2 The evening cloud, the morning dew, The withering grass, the fading flower, Of earthly hopes are emblems true The glory of a passing hour. 3 But though earth's fairest blossoms die, And all beneath the skies is vain, There is a land whose confines lie Beyond the reach of care and pain. 4 Then let the hope of joys to come Dispel our cares, and chase our fears: If God be ours, we're traveling home, Though passing through a vale of tears. Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: PROTECTION
