Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #15 (1845) Hymnal Title: The Minstrel of Zion First Line: The vernal flowers their beauties spread Lyrics: 1 The vernal flowers their beauties spread, Delightful to the eye; But quickly all their hues are fled-- They wither, droop, and die. 2 Emblem of beauteous childhood's bloom, Emblem of its decay; Swiftly they leave us for the tomb, Wither, and pass away. 3 Why should we mourn these fading flowers, From this low vale removed, To bloom afresh in angel's bowers, By them and Christ beloved? 4 Thus sever'd from their parent stem, Our babes go on before; That our fond hearts may follow them, To that immortal shore. 5 There they and we, (when Christ appears,) All wash'd from sin's foul stain, Shall flourish through eternal years; Nor die, nor weep again.
