Time is winging us away.
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
Inclosed 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,
Far beyond the world’s alloy,
Secure in Jesus’ love.
Burton.
