Lyrics:
In a world so full of weeping,
While the years are rolling on,
Christian souls the watch are keeping,
While the years are rolling on;
While our journey we pursue
With the haven still in view,
There is work for us to do,
While the years are rolling on.
chorus:
Are rolling on, are rolling on,
Are rolling on, are rolling on,
Oh, the good we may be doing,
While the years are rolling on.
There's no time to waste in sighing
While the years are rolling on;
Time is flying, souls are dying,
While the years are rolling on;
Loving words a soul may win
From the wretched paths of sin;
We may bring the wand'rers in,
While the years are rolling on.
Let us strengthen one another,
While the years are rolling on;
Seek to raise a fallen brother,
While the years are rolling on;
This is work for every hand,
Till, throughout creation's land,
Armies for the Lord shall stand,
While the years are rolling on.
Friends we love are quickly flying,
While the years are rolling on;
No more parting, no more dying,
While the years are rolling on;
In the world beyond the tomb
Sorrow never more can come,
When we meet in that blest home,
While the years are rolling on.
