Autumn Days — version 1

Christian

Autumn Days (p)

Treasured things, they disappear
On Earth His Angels tread,
With  autumn leaves, another year,
Falls down upon our heads

To every earthly love there comes
The shadow of decay
Revealing Joy of Him above
To help our weary way

And while the wind gives up her moans
To scare in mountains steep
He kisses our dear Children's brow
And ushers them to sleep

A sharp morning's heartbeat
moves so fast
It fills our minds with dread
Of passing years and silent tears
That youthfulness has fled?

Yet on a harp, a tune is played
A song for every ear
Brings warmth upon low frosty ground
And icey snow peaked fears

And if we stopped to hear His Harp
A tune that's gently strained
Such a warmth within our hearts
Would come from sweet refrains

We'd hear the song in unison
On Autumn's icey hours
And at the homes of lonely folk
Who stare from golden towers

And as young men in later years
Like Autumn, grow and change
The Harp will say much more than Fall
Of Love which e'er remains

An everlasting song of Love
Through seasons, space and time
A Love which warms eternities
Which no man can define.

A strain which sweeps the coldest heart
With gladness faith and joy
And plays its tune eternally
For all who will enjoy.
