Patience Of Hope.

Topics: classic

The flowers that bloom in sun and shade     And glitter in the dew,     The flowers must fade.     The birds that build their nest and sing     When lovely spring is new,     Must soon take wing.     The sun that rises in his strength     To wake and warm the world,     Must set at length.     The sea that overflows the shore     With billows frothed and curled,     Must ebb once more.     All come and go, all wax and wane,     O Lord, save only Thou     Who dost remain     The Same to all eternity.     All things which fail us now     We trust to Thee.
