The minutes fleeting go before,

The time passing will be no more.

The Lord controls each day’s hour,

His hand possesses all power.

The Sovereign rules, He’s reigning yet,

You can not hinder by thought or fret.

The Universe is in his hand,

The great time-keeper with master plan.

The minutes fleeting go before,

The time passing will be no more.

He sets the minute, the hour, the day,

His schedule is perfect, He planned it that way.

His world revolves and rotates true,

The motion he guides the ages through.

The years, decades, and centuries pass,

Our Sovereign controls the First, the Last.
