Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #942 (1886) Lyrics: 1 How slender is life's silver cord!
How soon 'tis broken here!
Each moment brings a parting word,
And many a falling tear.
2 And though these years, to mortals given,
Are filled with grief and pain,
There is a hope, the hope of heaven,
Where loved ones meet again.
3 O glorious morning! quickly come,
And wake this slumbering clay;
Touch these pale lips, so cold and dumb,
With thine immortal ray. Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: LAUREL HILL
How slender is life's silver cord!
