THE flowers that bloom in sun and shade,
And glitter in the dew --
The flowers must fade.
The birds that build their nest and sing
When lovely Spring is new
Must soon take wing.

The sun that rises in his strength,
To wake and warm the world,
Must set at length.
The sea that overflows the shore
With billows frothed and curled
Must ebb once more.

All come and go, all wax and wane,
O Lord, save only Thou,
Who dost remain
The same to all eternity.
All things which fail us now
We trust to Thee.
