Bilingual
The time is swiftly rolling on
When I must faint and die
My body to the dust return
And there, for God's son, lie
Let persecutions wait around
Let Antichrist appear
Beneath the cold and silent ground
There's no disturbance here
Through heat and cold I've toiled and spent
And wandered in despair
To call poor sinners to repent
And seek the Savior fair
My little children near my heart
And nature seems to bind
It grieves me sorely to depart
And leave you here behind
My loving wife, my bosom friend
The object of my love
My times been sweet I've spent with thee
My sweet, my harmless dove
Though I must now depart from thee
Let this not grieve your heart
For you will surely come to me
Where we shall never part
