Lyrics Along the river of time we glide, The swiftly flowing, resistless tide, And soon, ah, soon, the end we'll see, Yes, soon 'twill come and we will be Floating Out on the sea of eternity Along the river of time we glide, A thousand dangers its currents hide, And near our course the rocks we see, Oh, dreadful tho't! a wreck to be, Floating Out on the sea of eternity Along the river of time we glide, Our Saviour only our bark can guide, But with Him we secure may be, No fear or doubt, but joy to be, Floating Out on the sea of eternity!
