#1
My time is rolling on When I faint and die; My to the dust return And fergotten lie. Let rage around And appear; My dust beneath the ground; There's no there.
To call poor sinners to And their Savior dear. My brother preachers, speak And stand on wall. Confirm the drunk, confirm the And after call.
My loving wife, my friend, The of my love, The time's been sweet spent with you, My sweet and dove, My little near my heart My warm know. each the path will I attend. O from can I go?!
O God, a father to be And keep them all harm, That they may and worship Thee And upon Thy charm. How often you looked fer me And often me come. But now I must depart from And return.
My loving wife, don't fer me, lament nor mourn; Fer I will my Jesus be And upon his charm.
#2 The is swiftly rolling on I must faint and die, My body to the dust And forgotten lie. Let rage around, Let appear; Beneath the cold and silent There's no there.
Through heats and I've toiled and went And in despair; To call sinners to repent And seek the dear.
My brother preachers, boldly And stand on wall. Confirm the strong, the weak, And after call.
My children, near my heart, And nature to bind, It me sorely to depart And you here behind.
Oh Lord, a to them be And them from all harm That they may love and worship And dwell Thy charm.
My wife, my bosom friend, The of my love, The time's been sweet I spent thee, My sweet, my dove.
Though I must now depart thee Let this not grieve heart, For you will shortly to me Where we shall part.
