This World is Bright and Fair We Know

Author: Albert Leighton Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: This world is bright and fair, we know Lyrics: 1 This world is bright and fair, we know; The skies are arched in glory; The stars shine on, the sweet flowr’s blow, And tell their blessed story. 2 But softer than the summer’s breath, And fairer than its roses, Will be the clime afar, when death The pearly gate uncloses; 3 The land where broken ties shall twine, And fond hearts will not sever, Where love’s pure light shall brighter shine, Forever and forever!

My Father, Saviour, comforter, Now and for evermore! 2 When I forget His tender love, And my affections set Not upon holy things above, He did not me forget, But gently chastening, gently tried To draw me back to bliss, And hide me in His wounded side; Therefore I’m tenfold His; [Refrain] 3 When, sunk in sorrow, I despaired And changed my hopes for fears, He bore my griefs, my burden shared, And wiped away my tears; Therefore the joy by Him restored To Him by right belongs, And to my gracious loving Lord I’ll sing through life my songs; [Refrain] 4 When I beneath my cross lay down And could no further move, He raised me up, He showed the crown, And whispered, “I am Love;” Therefore that love my song shall be, And to my glorious King, Through time and through eternity, My life His praise shall sing; [Refrain] Topics: Wandering and Return Used With Tune: ST.
