Time, Thou Speedest

Verse 1

Time, thou speedest on but slowly; Hours, how tardy is your pace! Ere with him, the high and holy, I hold converse face to face. Here is naught but care and mourning Comes a joy, it will not stay; Fairly shines the sun at dawning, Night will soon o'ercloud the day.

Verse 2

Onward then! not long I wander Ere my Saviour comes for me, And with him abiding yonder, All his glory I shall see. O, the music and the singing Of the hosts redeemed by love! O, the hallelujahs ringing Through the halls of light above!
