Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bright things can never die, E'en though they fade. Beauty and minstrelsy, Deathless were made. What tho' the summer day, Passes at eve away, Doth not the moon's soft ray, Silver the night? 2 Kind words can never die; Cherished and blest, God knows how deep they lie, Stored in the breast. Like childhood's simple rhymes, Said o'er a thousand times, They in all years and climes, Strengthen and cheer. 3 Childhood can never die; Wrecks of the past, Float o'er the memory, Bright to the last. Many a happy thing, Shall to the spirit cling, And on Time's healing wing, Come evermore. Used With Tune: [Bright things can never die]

Hymnal: The Morning Stars Sang Together #10 (1897) Lyrics: 1 Bright things can never die, E'en though they fade. Beauty and minstrelsy, Deathless were made. What tho' the summer day, Passes at eve away, Doth not the moon's soft ray, Silver the night? 2 Kind words can never die; Cherished and blest, God knows how deep they lie, Stored in the breast. Like childhood's simple rhymes, Said o'er a thousand times, They in all years and climes, Strengthen and cheer. 3 Childhood can never die; Wrecks of the past, Float o'er the memory, Bright to the last. Many a happy thing, Shall to the spirit cling, And on Time's healing wing, Come evermore. Tune Title: [Bright things can never die]
