Gently Down the Stream of Time

Gently Down the Stream of Time.
64.2

Gently down the stream of Time
Floats our bark toward the sea,
Sweetly penis the evening chime.
Hear It echo wild and free.
Friends have gone, ties have been broken,
Fears and doubts and hopes sublime,
Careless words, the idly spoken.
Lie sleeping ‘neath the sea of time;
Careless words, the idly spoken,
Lie sleeping ‘neath the sea of time.

Chorus-
Gently down the stream of Time
Floats our bark toward the sea:
Sweetly peals the ev’ning chime,
Hear Its echo wild and free.

Yonder on the golden shore
Forms unseen are chanting low,
Strains we loved in days of yore,
Memories of long ago. Voices now are hushed forever.
Tears and flowers strew their graves.
And this mighty, rushing river
Burles all beneath its waves:
And this mighty, rushing river
Burjes all beneath its waves.
Chorus.
