Heaven on Earth

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #296 (1866) Meter: Irregular First Line: This world is not a fleeting show Lyrics: This world is not 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. And he who walks life’s thorny way With feelings calm and even, Whose path is lit, from day to day, By virtue’s bright and steady ray, Feels something here of heaven. He that the Christian course hath run, And all his foes forgiven, Hath measured out this life’s short span In love to God and love to man, On earth has tasted heaven. Languages: English
