Why should this Earth delight us so?

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CLXIV (1766) Lyrics: 1 Why should this Earth delight us so? Why should we fix our Eyes On these low Ground, where Sorrows grow, And ev'ry pleasure dies? 2 While Time his sharpest Teeth prepares Our Comforts to devour, There is a Land above the Stars, And Joys above his Pow'r. 3 Nature shall be dissolv'd and die, The Sun must end his Race, The Earth and Sea for ever fly Before my Saviour's Face. 4 When will that glorious Morning rise? When the last Trumpet sound, And call the Nations to the Skies, From underneath the Ground? Topics: End of the world Languages: English
