The Time is Rolling On (Shiloah) 426b

Tune: Thomas Waller
Alto: Miss Julia Sellers, 1902
Lyrics: B. Hicks
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
The time is swiftly rolling on
When I must faint and die,
My body to the dust return,
And there forgotten lie.

Let persecutions rage around,
And Antichrist appear,
My silent dust beneath the ground,
There's no disturbance here.
