Author: Dr. T. G. Chattle Hymnal: Joyful Songs #28 (1875) First Line: Friends we meet you once again Lyrics: 1 Friends we meet you once again, Here to sing our greeting song, Mouths have rolled their course along, Since our former greeting song; And so swift has pass'd away, That it seems but yesterday, And so swift has pass'd away, That it seems but yesterday. 2 Moments glide so silently, Scarce we heed them as they fly, And the weight of years is shed, Gently on each bending head; That we think life just begun, When its course is almost run. That we think life just begun, When its course is almost run. 3 Thus by month, and week, and day, Swiftly float the hours away; Childhood, youth, then manhood, age, Each, successive, fills life's page; And when each its course is run, Sinks from life like setting sun, And when each its course is run, Sinks from life like setting sun. 4 Thus as each successive year You behold us gathered here; Seasons in their ceaseless roll, Bring us nearer to the goal; Where all time to us shall be Lost in an eternity. Where all time to us shall be Lost in an eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: [Friends we meet you once again]
