While with Ceaseless Course the Sun

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 591 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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. 2 As the wingèd 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. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view. Bless Thy Word to young and old, Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above. Amen.
