'Tis Beautiful

Author: Belle Bush Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: PANTANAL Text Sources: The Palm of Victory by Leroy H. Dowling (St. Louis: L. H. Downling, 1874)

The Earth Belongs unto the Lord

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The earth belongs unto the Lord, And all that it contains; The world that is inhabited, And all that there remains. For the foundations thereof He on the seas did lay, And He hath it establishèd Upon the floods to stay. 2. Who is the man that shall ascend Into the hill of God? Or who within His holy place Shall have a firm abode? Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure, And into vanity Who hath not lifted up his soul, Nor sworn deceitfully. 3. He from th’Eternal shall receive The blessing him upon, And righteousness, ev’n from the God Of his salvation. This is the generation That after Him inquire, O Jacob, who do seek Thy face With their whole heart’s desire. 4. Ye gates, lift up your heads on high; Ye doors, that last for aye, Be lifted up, that so the King Of glory enter may. But who of glory is the King? The mighty Lord is this; Ev’n that same Lord, that great in might And strong in battle is. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650
