'Tis Beautiful

Author: Belle Bush Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12832 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: ’Tis beautiful to live on earth Lyrics: 1 ’Tis beautiful to live on earth, To work, to watch and pray, To feel the ties of love and hope Grow stronger day by day; ’Tis beautiful to look within, And watch the waves of thought That come and go in ceaseless tides, By Truth and fancy taught. 2 ’Tis beautiful to love and trust The friends that round us live; To look with pity on the weak, And all their faults forgive, ’Tis beautiful to trust in God, To feel our souls grow strong, And know that every day we strive To triumph over wrong. 3 ’Tis beautiful to die, when life, With all its duties done, Drifts on, as does a summer cloud, To greet the setting sun; It will be beautiful to pass On to the "Better Shore," And in the "many mansions" meet The loved ones gone before Languages: English Tune Title: PANTANAL
