1. God of eternity, from Thee
Did infant time her being draw;
Moments and days, and months and years,
Revolve by Thine unwearied law.

2. Silent and slow they glide away,
Steady and strong the current flows;
Lost in eternity's wide sea,
The boundless gulf from which it rose.

 

3. With it the thoughtless sons of men
Before the rapid streams are borne
On to that everlasting home,
Where not one soul can e'er return.

4. Yet while the shore on either side
Presents a gaudy flattering show,
We gaze, in fond amusement lost
Nor think to what a world we go.

 

5. Great Source of wisdom, teach my heart
To know the price of every hour;
That time may bear me on to joys
Beyond its measure, and its power.
