Songtext von Florence

Not many years their rounds shall roll Each moment brings it nigh And all your glories stand revealed To our admiring eye You wills of nature speed your course, You mortal powers decay Fast as you bring the night of death You bring eternal day You weary heavy-laden souls Who are oppressed sore You travelers through the wilderness To Canaan's peaceful shore Through beating winds and chilly rains, And waters deep and cold And enemies surrounding you Have courage and be bold The storms and hurricanes arise The desert all around And fiery serpents oft appear Through the enchanted ground Dark night and clouds and gloomy fear And dragons often roar But when the gospel trump we hear We'll press for Canaan's shore
