Life is but a fleeting dream

Hymnal: International Song Service #132 (1895) Hymnal Title: International Song Service Lyrics: 1 Life is but a fleeting dream, Only stranger here we roam; Life is but a changeful scene, Yonder is the Christian's home. Just beyond the rolling tide Angels watch us on the shore, Where the pearly waters glide, And the weary thirst no more. 2 Here we feel the tempter's power, Here we sigh for living-bread, Clouds of gloom and darkness lower, While a rugged path we tread. There no cruel thorns are found, Doubt and fear and storms are o'er, There the fruits of joy abound, We shall hunger there no more. 3 Here we breathe the sultry air Of a lonely desert plain, Trials here the heart must bear Worn by sickness, racked with pain. There the waves of death are passed, There, among the pure and blest, Safely anchored home at last, There our wandering feet shall rest. 4 Here our fondest hopes are brief, Kindred ties are broken here; Morning brings a night of grief, Joy is mingled with a tear. There shall faith be lost in sight, There a long eternal day, Christ the Lamb shall be the Light, He will wipe our tears away. Languages: English Tune Title: HERE AND HEREAFTER
