Along the River of Time we glide, Along the River, along the River; The swiftly flowing, resistless tide, The swiftly flowing, the swiftly flowing, And soon, ah, soon, the end we'll see ; Yes, soon 'twill come, and we will be Floating, floating, Out on the sea of Eternity !
2. Along the River of Time we glide, Along the River, along the River ; A thousand dangers its currents hide, A thousand dangers, a thousand dangers ; And near our course the rocks we see : Oh, dreadful thought ! a wreck to be, Floating, floating, Out on the sea of Eternity !
3. Along the River of Time we glide, Along the River, along the River; Our Saviour only our bark can guide, Our Saviour only, our Saviour only ; But with Him we secure may be: No fear, no doubt â but joy to be Floating, floating, Out on the sea of Eternity
