Geneva. Life a Winter's Day. 7, 6.

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 will be
Enclos'd 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 Christian shall enjoy
Health and beauty soon above,
Far beyond the world's alloy,
Secure in Jesus' love.
