Hymn Context Compare
To make us, too, alive with Christ.
Obey Thee—love Thee, and be blest!
There are leaves that nev­er wi­ther;
Lays of the eter­nal spring.
O what’s worth loving in this world?
Therefore we do not lose heart;
For our inner man to develop and be renewed.
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Strength and Song forever.
Be in time!
And hear Thy voice, Fear not, for it is I.
Your honors perish in a day;
Though earth and heavens alter,
Smile like a gar­den
Death is a kinder face to see;

Decay

Our inner man’s renewed each day.
Pillars of earth­ly pride, de­cay!
Nothing ev­il go­eth thi­ther;
And, the weary seed time o’er,
Come taste the grace of Christ the Lord
Yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. (4:16)
We do not lose heart for our inner man is being renewed day by day;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
Song that ceaseth never.
Youth and beauty pass away;
Its glo­ries wane, its pa­geants fade away:
Christ for me, Christ for me.
His love will never falter;
The win­try wind
From life’s distress we then are free.
