Lyics

Time is winging us away

To our eternal home;

Life is but a winter's day,

A journey to the tomb:

Youth and vigour soon will flee,

Blooming beauty lose its charms;

All that's mortal soon will be

Enclosed 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 children shall enjoy

Health and beauty soon above,

Far beyond the world's alloy,

Secure in Jesus' love.
