While, With Ceaseless Course, The Sun
Hasted Through The Former Year,
Many Souls Their Race Have Run,
Nevermore To Meet Us Here
Fixed In An Eternal State,
They Have Done With All Below
We A Little Longer Wait
But How Little, None Can Know..

As The Winged Arrow Flies
Speedily The Mark To Find
As The Lightning From The Skies
Darts, And Leaves No Trace Behind
Swiftly Thus Our Fleeting Days
Bear Us Down Life’s Rapid Stream
Upward, Lord, Our Spirits Raise
All Below Is But A Dream.

Thanks For Mercies Past Receive
Pardon Of Our Sins Renew
Teach Us Henceforth How To Live
With Eternity In View
Bless Thy Word To Old And Young
Fill Us With A Saviour’s Love ;
When Our Life’s Short Race Is Run,
May We Dwell With Thee Above.
