This World is Bright and Fair We Know

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!
