Perish the grass, and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remains.

Additional quotes by Samuel Wesley (poet, died 1735)

Beneath, a sleeping infant lies,
To earth whose ashes lent,
More glorious shall hereafter rise,
Though not more innocent. When the arch-angel's trump shall blow,
And souls and bodies join,
What crowds will wish, their lives below
Had been as short as thine!
