Fidelity

As down the stream of time we are gliding

Author: A. D. Fillmore
Tune: [Lobt froh den Herrn]
Published in 3 hymnals

Representative Text

1 As down the stream of time we are gliding,
We'll trust in God with faith all confiding;
He'll never forsake,
He'll never forsake.

2 When morning dawns, with birds sweetly singing,
Our voices too, their tribute bringing,
Sing praise to the Lord,
Sing praise to the Lord.

3 When all around us noon-tide is shining,
And when at eve the sun is declining,
We'll sing of his love,
We'll sing of his love.

4 We'll come to God with humble petition,
In every season, every condition,
In Jesus' blest name,
In Jesus' blest name.

5 Though storms of sorrow oft o'ertake us;
Thank God for promise ne'er to forsake us--
We'll trust in his word,
We'll trust in his word.

6 And when our songs on earth shall be ended,
With angel bands our notes shall be blended,
In heaven above,
In heaven above.
