Parting Hearts

Life is a scene of comings and partings. We once to mighty love did come—oh, how sweetly we came! And long did we last like twinkles in the sky. But now we part to different arms—oh, how swiftly we do! The sweet breath of a stranger has blown into thine heart and there quenched the flame that once kept our love warm. ‘Tis time to untwine our hearts and untwine our tears And to pray to grieving Heaven that to those blazing arms that now beckon We'll forever come and come and come and never once part Whilst we ride and love in the fields of eternity!
