The Year Is Swiftly Waning

Author: William W. How Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12311 Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The year is swiftly waning, The summer days are past; And life, brief life, is speeding; The end is nearing fast. 2 The ever changing seasons In silence come and go; But Thou, eternal Father, No time or change canst know. 3 O, pour Thy grace upon us, That we may worthier be, Each year that passes o’er us, To dwell in heaven with Thee. 4 Behold the bending orchards With bounteous fruit are crowned; Lord, in our hearts more richly Let heavenly fruits abound. 5 O, by each mercy sent us, And by each grief and pain, By blessings like the sunshine, And sorrows like the rain. 6 Our barren hearts make fruitful With every goodly grace, That we Thy name may hallow, And see at last Thy face.
