Lyics

Time is winging us away

To our eternal home;

Life is but a winter's day,

A journey to the tomb.  

Youth and vigor soon will flee,

Blooming beauty lose its charms;

All that's mortal soon shall be

Inclosed in death's cold arms.



Time is winging us away

To our eternal home;

Life is but a winter's day,

A journey to the tomb.

But the Christian shall enjoy

Health and beauty soon above,

Far beyond this world's alloy,

Secure in Jesus' love.
