Author: J. BurtonHymnal: The Voice of Praise #909 (1873)Lyrics: 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.Topics: Life a Winter's DayScripture: Isaiah 64:6
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #417 (1867)Lyrics: 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
Inclosed in death's cold arms.
2 Time is bearing us away
To our eternal home;
Life is but a winter's day--
A journey to the tomb;
But the saints shall soon enjoy
Life--immortal life above,
Where no worldly griefs annoy,
Where Jesus reigns in love.Topics: Life Its BrevityLanguages: English
