LyicsTime 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 the world's alloy,
Secure in Jesus' love.
