Time and Eternity

Time and Eternity

It is not time that flies;
'Tis we, 'tis we, are flying;
It is not Life that dies;
'Tis we, 'tis we, are dying.
Time and eternity are one;
Time is eternity begun:
Life changes, yet without decay;
'Tis we alone who pass away.

It is not truth that flies;
'Tis we, 'tis we, are flying:
It is not Faith that dies;
'Tis we, 'tis we, are dying.
O ever-during faith and truth,
Whose youth is age, whose age is youth!
Twin stars of immortality,
Ye cannot perish from our sky.
