Text: | One by One |
Author: | Miss Ida Hedrick |
Tune: | [One by one, the years are flying] |
Composer: | Stephen J. Farmer |
1 One by one the years are flying,
Leaving still the numberless;
One by one the dear ones dying,
Pass from this sad world to rest.
Refrain:
One by one, when life is ended,
One by one we'll all go home!
There we'll sing with voices blended,
"Christ has saved us one by one!"
2 One by one our fond dreams fading,
Pass forever from our sight;
One by one the clouds o'ershad'wing,
Hide from us our promised light. [Refrain]
3 One by one the clouds will vanish,
Leaving our horizons clear;
May the Lord each terror banish,
As the stream of death draws near! [Refrain]
