Time it winked at me as it flew bye

Finally knowing the twinkling of an eye

The day had come for things to end

Or night arrived for them to mend

In Truth we find what we believe

As proof of all which we conceive

In heart the Word neatly written square

The Hope of God residing there

Come life, come power, come peace at will

To dream, to watch, a memorable thrill

When His unfolding Plan I saw

I stood there leaning in resounding awe

For simple word failed to express

The finite end to hopelessness

In dance I found the steps to fly

In tears I found the will to cry

For this world had forgotten the reason why

And the purpose for each man to die

To Him begotten our return

That moment for each in which we yearn

So small the candle that we have to burn

So sweet the words and prize we earn
