Text: | Time is winging us away |
Author: | J. Burton |
1 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.
2 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,
Where no worldly griefs annoy,
Secure in Jesus' love.
