The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#21

21. Someone's Last Day

1 This morning the sun in his beauty arose,
To drive night's dark shadows away;
To loved ones his setting will sadly disclose,
It is someone's, someone's last day.

Refrain:
It is someone's, someone's last day,
With its moments gliding away;
The bright, golden sunset wilt surely disclose,
It is someone's, someone's last day.

2 Someone is now nearing the dark river's brink,
Where billows their fury display;
And soon will be severed this life's dearest link;
It is someone's, someone's last day. [Refrain]

3 Oh, waste not the moments so precious and bright,
For nothing their loss can repay;
And someone will never behold morning's light;
It is someone's, someone's last day. [Refrain]
