Swiftly Fading
Author: Rev. J. B. Atchinson Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #46 (1889) First Line: Like the bud that quickly blossoms Refrain First Line: Like the stars that fade in sunlight Lyrics: 1 Like the bud that quickly blossoms,
Like the blossom soon decayed,—
Like the grass that quickly withers,
Like the leaf we rapid fade:
Like a swift ship on the ocean,
Like a swift departing day,—
Like a sleep that is but transient,—
So we quickly pass away.
Refrain:
Like the stars that fade in sunlight,
Like a raindrop in the sea,
So may we, O blessed Saviour,
Pass away to dwell with Thee.
2 Like a snowflake in the sunshine,
Like the white foam-crested wave,—
Like the mists of early morning,
So we’re passing to the grave:
Like the swiftly passing shadow,
Like a tale that’s quickly told,—
Swifter than the weaver’s shuttle,—
So we all are growing old. [Refrain]
3 Like a dream that’s soon forgotten,
Like a meteor in the sky,—
Like a postman hastening onward,
So man hastens on to die:
Like the rapid flowing river,—
Like a brief watch in the night,—
Like the bubble of a moment,—
So we soon pass out of sight. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Like the bud that quickly blossoms]
