The Flight of Time

Author: Harry Mack Hymnal: The Service of Praise #150 (1900) First Line: Tick by tick, the moments fleeting Refrain First Line: Tick by tick, the moments fleeting Lyrics: 1 Tick by tick, the moments fleeting Measure out the passing day; While the rapid pulse is beating, Slips our precious life away. Hour by hour, the bell is tolling, Someone’s sorrow, some farewell; List, its tones so deeply rolling Sound abroad a parting knell Refrain: Tick by tick, the moments fleeting Measure out the passing day; While the rapid pulse is beating, Slips our precious life away. 2 Month by month, in waxing, waning; Comes and goes the silver moon; So we know the strength we’re gaining Turns and weakens all too soon. Year by year, our lives are aging, Treading onward to the grave; Fleeting hopes the heart engaging, Time o’ertakes the bold and brave. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Tick by tick, the moments fleeting]
