|
Time flies and life passes |
|
Already I seem to hear |
|
The last trumpet singing |
|
Oh, come out of the grave |
|
You've scattered ashes and bones |
|
Oh, rise again, you souls |
|
Today we are born |
|
And tomorrow we die |
|
Time flies; life passes |
|
Today we appear |
|
And tomorrow we're gone |
|
Time flies; life passes |
|
Today we are born |
|
And tomorrow we die |
|
Time flies; life passes |
|
Today we appear |
|
And tomorrow we're gone |
|
Time flies; life passes |
|
Oh, rise and tell us, truly |
|
If we should have served |
|
This world or the king in heaven |
|
To open our eyes to the truth |
|
That life is but a breath of wind |
|
That passes in a moment |
|
(chorus) |
|
This mortal life |
|
Has wings to fly so fast |
|
And passes at such speed |
|
The wind is thunderbolts |
|
The day is swiftly kidnapped |
|
And likewise, the night |
|
Winter and summer fade |
|
?? to eternity |
|
Time which will not endure |
|
Devours us and measures our span |
|
All life is given from heaven |
|
And then is whisked away |
