This world's not all a fleeting show

Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1. This world's not all a fleeting show, For man's illusion given; He that hath soothed a widow's woe, Or wiped an orphan's tear, doth know There's something here of heaven. 2. And he that walks life's thorny way, With feelings calm and even, Whose path is lit from day to day With virtue's bright and steady ray, Hath something felt of heaven. 3. He that the Christian's course has run, And all his foes forgiven, Who measures out life's little span In love to God and love to man, On earth hath tasted heaven. Used With Tune: WOODLAND

Thy goodness, Lord, our souls confess

Author: Thomas Gibbons Appears in 140 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy goodness, Lord our souls confess, Thy goodness we adore; A spring whose blessings never fail, A sea without a shore. 2 Sun, moon, and stars, thy love attest In every cheerful ray; Love draws the curtain of the night, And love restores the day. 3 Thy bounty every season crowns With all the bliss it yields; With joyful clusters bend the vines, With harvests wave the fields. 4 But chiefly thy compassions, Lord, Are in the gospel seen; There like the sun, thy mercies shine Without a cloud between.

This world is all a fleeting show

Author: T. Moore Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This world is all a fleeting show, For man's illusion giv'n; The smiles of joy, the tears of wo, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow, There's nothing true but heav'n. 2 And false the light on glory's plume, As fading hues of ev'n; And hope, and joy, and beauty's bloom, Are blossoms gathered for the tomb; There's nothing true but heav'n. 3 Poor wand'rers of a stormy day, From wave to wave were driv'n' And fancy's flash, and reason's ray, Serve but to light the troubled way; There's nothing calm but heaven.
