There is a time when moments flow

Verse 1

There is a time when moments flow More happily than all beside; It is, of all the times below, A Sabbath of the eventide.

Verse 2

Oh, then the setting sun shines fair, And all below, and all above, The various forms of nature, wear One universal garb of love.

Verse 3

And then the peace that Jesus brought, The life of grace eternal beams, And we, by his example taught, Improve the life his love redeems.

Verse 4

Delightful scene! a world at rest; A God of love; no grief, no fear; A heavenly hope, a peaceful breast, A smile, unsullied by a tear.
