950. S. M. Curtis' Coll.

Flight of Time.

1Another day is past,

The hours forever fled,

And time is bearing us away

To mingle with the dead.

2Our minds in perfect peace

Our Father's care shall keep,

We yield to gentle slumber now,

For thou canst never sleep.

3How blesséd, Lord, are they

On thee securely stayed!

Nor shall they be in life alarmed,

Nor be in death dismayed.
