Time flies and life passes 
Already I seem to hear 
the last trumpet singing 
Oh, come out of the grave 
You've scattered ashes and bones 
Oh, rise again, you souls 

Today we are born 
and tomorrow we die 
Time flies; life passes 
Today we appear 
and tomorrow we're gone 
Time flies; life passes 
Today we are born 
and tomorrow we die 
Time flies; life passes 
Today we appear 
and tomorrow we're gone 
Time flies; life passes 

Oh, rise and tell us, truly 
This world or the king in heaven 
To open our eyes to the truth 
That life is but a breath of wind 
that passes in a moment 

This mortal life 
has wings to fly so fast 
and passes at such speed 
The wind is thunderbolts 

The day is swiftly kidnapped 
and likewise, the night 
Winter and summer fade 
?? to eternity 
Time which will not endure 
devours us and measures our span 

All life is given from heaven 
And then is whisked away
