What Sweet of Life Endureth

What sweet of life endureth
Unmixed with bitter pain?
'Midst earthly change and chances
What glory doth remain?

All is a feeble shadow,
A dream that will not stay;
Death cometh in a moment,
And taketh all away.

O Christ, a light transcendent

Shines in thy countenance,
And none can tell the sweetness,
The beauty of thy glance.

In this may thy poor servants
Their joy eternal find;
Thou calledst them, O rest them,
Thou lover of mankind!
