This is the sixth movement of Time and Tides, commissioned by Eltham Choral Society. Other movements can be found here:
SATB and Organ
c. 5’30”
Even such is time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with age and dust;
Who, in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days.
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust.
Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618)
