Hymn/Song Information

Earth's myriad children rest beneath The




Earth�s myriad children rest beneath
The senseless clod and wave:
Art thou insatiable, o death?
And thou devouring grave?


Must mortal years for ever glide?
Life but appear and go?
And generations, as a tide,
For ever ebb and flow?


Behold they wake, put on their strength,
Array themselves afresh;
The saints of Christ have lost at length
The infirmities of flesh.


An army of immortals stands,
With energies of fire,
And ne�er to die, their radiant bands,
Unto the skies aspire.


Oh, this is life: for each one now
Hath reached his true estate:
Is wiser than the wise below,
And greater than the great.


Then grieve not at the rise and fall
Of generations here;
But follow Christ, and wait his call
When he and his appear.
