| 1 Earth's transitory things decay; Its pomps, its pleasures pass away; But the sweet memory of the good Survives in the vicissitude. 2 As, 'mid the ever-rolling sea, The eternal isles established be, 'Gainst which the surges of the main Fret, dash, and break themselves in vain;-- 3 As in the heavens, the urns divine Of golden light for ever shine; Tho' clouds may darken, storms may rage, They still shine on from age to age;-- 4 So, through the ocean tide of years, The memory of the just appears; So, through the tempest and the gloom, The good man's virtues light the tomb. | The Cyber Hymnal #10492 Laudes Domini: a selection of spiritual songs ancient and modern #839 (1884) Laudes Domini: a selection of spiritual songs ancient & modern (Abr. ed.) #438 (1888) |
