#1
My time is swiftly on When I must faint and My body to the return And fergotten lie. Let rage around And appear; My silent dust the ground; no disturbance there.
To call poor sinners to And their Savior dear. My brother preachers, speak And on Zion's wall. Confirm the drunk, confirm the And after call.
My loving wife, my friend, The of my love, The time's been sweet l've spent you, My sweet and dove, My little near my heart My affections know. From each the will I attend. O them can I go?!
O God, a father to be And keep them all harm, That they may love and worship And upon Thy charm. How often you have fer me And seen me come. But now I must from thee And return.
My loving wife, grieve fer me, Neither nor mourn; Fer I with my Jesus be And upon his charm.
#2 The time is rolling on When I must and die, My body to the dust And forgotten lie. Let persecutions around, Let appear; Beneath the and silent ground no disturbance there.
Through heats and cold I've and went And in despair; To poor 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 grieves me sorely to And leave you behind.
Oh Lord, a father to be And keep from all harm That they may love and worship And dwell Thy charm.
My loving wife, my friend, The of my love, The time's sweet I spent with thee, My sweet, my dove.
Though I must now depart thee Let this not grieve heart, For you will come to me we shall never part.
