How vain is all beneath the skies!
Author: David E. Ford Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #926 (1886) Hymnal Title: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 How vain is all beneath the skies!
How transient every earthly bliss!
How splender all the fondest ties
That bind us to a world like this!
2 The evening cloud, the morning dew,
The withering grass, the fading flower,
Of earthly hopes are emblems true
The glory of a passing hour.
3 But though earth's fairest blossoms die,
And all beneath the skies is vain,
There is a land whose confines lie
Beyond the reach of care and pain.
4 Then let the hope of joys to come
Dispel our cares, and chase our fears:
If God be ours, we're traveling home,
Though passing through a vale of tears.
