226. Time is winging us away

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 saints shall soon enjoy
Life--immortal life above,
Where no worldly griefs annoy,
Where Jesus reigns in love.
