Author: J. S. Kimbrough Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9202 Refrain First Line: Thy grace, O Lord, on us bestow Lyrics: 1 The days are swiftly going by, The fleeting, passing moments say; With rapid wing they speed away, Nor in their onward journey stay. Refrain: Thy grace, O Lord, on us bestow, Teach us the ways of sin to shun; Give us the joys of Heav’n to know, When life’s short race with us is run. 2 The morning light but scarcely breaks Before the night’s dark gloom appears; An everlasting flight it takes, And joins the dead and buried years. [Refrain] 3 Life is a day that soon is o’er, A span of time that quickly flies; And then we sleep, to dream no more Till resurrection’s morn we rise. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The days are swiftly going by]
