"William Walker says "This song was composed by the Rev. B. Hicks (a Baptist Minister of South Carolina) and sent to his wife while he was confined in Tennessee by a fever of which he afterwards [re]covered" (''Southern Harmony'' 1835, p. 19). George P. Jackson (1933, pp. 203-205) identifies the composer as Berryman Hicks, a Baptist preacher of South Carolina and Tennessee, 1778-1839. All agree that Hicks wrote the words; some musicians and historians believe he wrote the tune as well."

¶Liedtext

1. The time is swiftly rolling on, When I must faint and die, My body to the dust return, And there forgotten lie. 2. Let persecution rage around, And Antichrist appear. My silent dust beneath the ground; There’s no disturbance there. 3. Through heats and colds I've often went, And wandered in despair, To call poor sinners to repent. And seek the Savior dear.
