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

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 Christian shall enjoy

Health and beauty, soon above,

Far beyond the world's alley,

Secure in Jesus' love.
