Hymns of the Early Church / being translations from the poetry of the Latin church, arranged in the order of the Christian year

by John Brownlie

III

Yours are mansions fair and comely—

There your souls in bliss shall rest;

Stars shall sparkle in their radiance,

On the pathway of the blest.

IV

Earthly joys are faint and fleeting,

Earthly favours quickly fade;

Heavenwards lift your eyes, expecting

There your true reward is laid.
