30. Passing Onward, Quickly Passing
8.7.8.7.4.7.4.7.
1
Passing onward, quickly passing,
Yes, but whither, whither bound?
Is it to the many mansions
Where eternal rest is found?
Yes, but whither, whither bound?
Yes, but whither, whither bound?
2
Passing onward, quickly passing,
Naught the wheels of time can stay;
Sweet the thought that some are going
To the realms of perfect day;
Christ their leader, Christ their way.
Christ their leader, Christ their way.
3
Passing onward, quickly passing,
Many on the downward road;
Careless of their souls immortal,
Heeding not the call of God,
Trampling on the Savior’s blood.
Trampling on the Savior’s blood.
4
Passing onward, quickly passing,
Time its course will quickly run;
Still we hear the fond entreaty
Of the ever-gracious One —
’Tis by Me that life is won."
’Tis by Me that life is won."
