While with ceaseless course the sun

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #613 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more 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 winged 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. Scripture: Psalm 90:12 Languages: English Tune Title: BENEVENTO

While with ceaseless course the sun

Author: Rev. John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal #649 (1895) Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more 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.
