NOT NOW
Days come and go,
In joy or woe;
Days go and come,
In endless sum.
Only the eternal day
Shall come but never go,
Only the eternal tide
Shall never ebb but flow.
O long eternity,
My soul goes forth to thee!
In joy or woe;
Days go and come,
In endless sum.
Only the eternal day
Shall come but never go,
Only the eternal tide
Shall never ebb but flow.
O long eternity,
My soul goes forth to thee!
Suns set and rise
In these dull skies;
Suns rise and set,
Till men forget
The day is at the door,
When they shall rise no more.
O everlasting Sun,
Whose race is never run,
Be Thou my endless light,
Then shall I fear no night!
In these dull skies;
Suns rise and set,
Till men forget
The day is at the door,
When they shall rise no more.
O everlasting Sun,
Whose race is never run,
Be Thou my endless light,
Then shall I fear no night!
