Earth's Transitory Things Decay

Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals First Line: Earth’s transitory things decay Lyrics: 1 Earth’s transitory things decay, Its pomps, its pleasures pass away; But the sweet memory of the good Survives in the vicissitude. 2 As ’midst the ever rolling sea, The eternal isles established be, ’Gainst which the surges of the main Fret, dash, and break themselves in vain— 3 As in the heavens, the urns divine, Of golden light, for ever shine; Though clouds may darken, storms may rage, They still shine on from age to age— 4 So through the ocean tide of years, The memory of the just appears; So through the tempest and the gloom, The good man’s virtues light the tomb. 5 Happy the righteous! come what may, Though Heaven dissolve and earth decay; Happy the righteous man! for he Belongs to immortality.

Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne, Where Thy redeemed behold Thy face, Enter this temple, now Thine own, And let Thy glory fill the place, And let Thy glory fill the place. 2 We praise Thee that to-day we see Its sacred walls before Thee stand; 'Tis Thine for us; 'tis ours for Thee; Reared by Thy kind assisting hand, Reared by Thy kind assisting hand. 3 Oft as returns the day of rest, Let heartfelt worship here ascend; With Thine own joy fill every breast, With Thine own power Thy word attend, With Thine own power Thy word attend. 4 Here in the dark and sorrowing day, Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still; Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away, And give new strength to meet Thy will, And give new strength to meet Thy will. 5 When round the Board Thine own shall meet, And keep the feast of dying love, Be our communion ever sweet With Thee, and with Thy Church above, With Thee, and with Thy Church above. 6 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep; In Thine own arms the lambs enfold; Give help to climb the heavenward steep, Till Thy full glory we behold, Till Thy full glory we behold. Amen. Topics: Church Beauty and Glory of; Church nature of; Churches Dedication; Churches Erection Used With Tune: ROTHWELL
