It Is Not Time That Flies

Hymnal: Joyful Songs #145 (1875) Lyrics: 1 It is not time that flies; 'Tis we, 'tis we are flying. It is not life that dies; 'Tis we, 'tis we are dying. Time and eternity are one, Time is eternity begun. Time changes but without decay; 'Tis we alone who pass away. 2 It is not truth that flies; 'Tis we, 'tis we are flying. It is not faith that dies; 'Tis we, 'tis we are dying. O, ever during faith and truth, Whose youth is age, whose age is youth, Twin stars of immortality; Ye cannot perish from our sky. 3 It is not hope that flies; 'Tis we, 'tis we are flying, It is not love that dies; 'Tis we, 'tis we are dying. Twin streams that have in heav'n your birth. Ye glide in gentle joy thro' earth, We fade like flow'rs beside you sown, Years still ever flowing on. 4 Yet we but die to live. It is from death we're flying. Forever lives our life; For us there is no dying. We die but as the spring bud dies, In summer's golden joy to rise, Those be our days of April bloom, Our July is beyond the tomb. Languages: English Tune Title: [It is not time that flies]

Time and Eternity

Author: H. Bonar, D. D. Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #155 (1889) First Line: It is not time that flies Lyrics: 1 It is not time that flies; ‘Tis we, ‘tis we are flying. It is not life that dies; ‘Tis we, ‘tis we are dying. Time and eternity are one; Time is eternity begun; Time changes, but without decay; ‘Tis we alone who pass away. 2 It is not truth that flies; ‘Tis we, ‘tis we are flying. It is not faith that dies; ‘Tis we, ‘tis we are dying. O ever-during Faith and Truth, Whose youth is age, whose age is youth, Twin stars of immortality, Ye cannot perish from the sky. 3 It is not hope that flies; ‘Tis we, ‘tis we are flying. It is not hope that dies; ‘Tis we, ‘tis we are dying. Ye streams that have in heav’n your birth, Ye glide in gentle joy through earth; We fade like flow’re beside you sown,— Ye are still flowing, flowing on. 4 Yet we but die to live, It is from death we’re flying. Forever lives our life; For us there is no dying: We die but as the spring-time dies, In summer’s golden joy to rise. These be our days of vernal bloom; Our harvest is beyond the tomb.
