Our life is ever on the wing,
And death is ever nigh;
The moment when our lives begin,
We all begin to die.
Yet, mighty God, our fleeting days
Thy lasting favour share;
Yet, with the bounties of thy grace,
Thou crown’st the rolling year.
Thy friendly hand provides our food,
And fills our hearts with love;
Thy grace stands pointing out the road
That leads our souls above.
Thy goodness runs an endless round,
All glory to the Lord!
Thy mercy never knows a bound,
And be thy name adored.
Thus we begin the lasting song,
And when we close our eyes,
Let ages down thy praise prolong,
Till time and nature dies.
