RUSSELL (Barnes)
Behold how sweet, how calm, how fair
Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold how sweet, how calm, how fair,
The broken bud that slumbers there!
E'er it had bloomed on earth, to die,
It died on earth to bloom on high.
2 Weep not as those who weep in vain,
Nor like the hopeless ones complain;
Our frosted buds, our withered flowers,
Shall spring again in fairer bowers.
3 O blessed hope to mourners given
The hope of union sweet in heaven!
No more to part, no more to weep,
No more to sleep death's silent sleep.
4 Then let this hope our spirits cheer:
The promised morn will soon appear,
The morn that sets the prisoners free,
The morning of eternity. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: RUSSELL
Behold how sweet, how calm, how fair
The morning flowers display their sweets
Author: Samuel Wesley, Jr. Appears in 171 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The morning flowers display their sweets,
And gay their silken leaves unfold,
As careless of the noontide heats,
As fearless of the evening cold.
2 Nipped by the wind's unkindly blast,
Parched by the sun's directer ray.
The momentary glories waste,
The short-lived beauties die away.
3 So blooms the human face divine
When youth its pride of beauty shows;
Fairer than spring the colors shine,
And sweeter than the virgin rose.
4 Or worn by slowly rolling years,
Or broke by sickness in a day,
The fading glory disappears,
The short-lived beauties die away.
5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb,
With luster brighter far shall shine,
Revive with ever-during bloom,
Safe from diseases and decline.
6 Let sickness blast, let death devour,
If heaven but recompense our pains;
Perish the grass, and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remains. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: RUSSELL
The morning flowers display their sweets
He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest
Author: Annie R. Smith Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest,
No mortal strife invades his breast;
No pain, nor sin, nor woe, nor care,
Can reach the silent slumberer there.
2 He lives, his Saviour to adore,
And meekly all his sufferings bore:
He loved, and all resigned to God;
Nor murmured at his chastening rod.
3 Does earth attract thee here? they cried;
The dying Christian thus replied,
While pointing upward to the sky,
"My treasure is laid up on high."
4 He sleeps in Jesus soon to rise,
When the last trump shall rend the skies;
Then burst the fetters of the tomb,
To wake in full, immortal bloom.
5 He sleeps in Jesus cease thy grief;
Let this afford thee sweet relief
That, freed from death's triumphant reign,
In heaven he will live again. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: RUSSELL

F. E. Belden
1858 - 1945 Author of "Behold how sweet, how calm, how fair" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
