Author: Albert Leighton Hymnal: Gloria Deo #571 (1901) 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! Topics: Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: MERRILL
This World is Bright and Fair We Know
