One By One

by Mrs. W. A. Bowdish

One by one the days are passing,
One by one the moments go,
Which remind us time is fleeting
From all things which dwell below.

One by one our trials ended,
One by one our cares are done;
Soon will cease all earthly labor,
And our earthly course be run.

One by one we're passing over,
One by one we cross the tide,
To that blessed happy city,
Found upon the other side.

There we soon shall be united,
Soon we'll reach the golden shore,
In our precious Saviour's presence,
We shall reign forevermore.

Chorus

One be one the days are passing,
One by one we cross the tide,
There will be no pain nor sorrow
When we reach the other side.
