In the Passing

All things pass away:
The hurrying hour of day,
The fading sun's last ray,
The final word we say.

But in the passing, there
Is experience rare.
A thrill each passing hour
Beings; renewed power

Is in the fading ray
Of every passing day;
And in each final world
Is the holy truth of God
