Hymns should have unity, graduation and mutual dependence in the thoughts, a conscious progress, a sense of completeness and be easily understood.

Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility.

Time is eternity begun.

Songs of praise the angels sang, Heav'n with alleluias rang, when creation was begun, when God spoke and it was done.

Eternity: a moment standing still for ever.

Bliss in possession will not last; Remembered joys are never past.

Here hyacinths of heavenly blue, shook their rich tresses to the morn.
