HYMN Lyrics Text: Man Is Lonely By Birth

1. Man is lonely by birth.

Man is only a pilgrim on earth

Born to be king,

time is but a temporary thing

only on loan while on earth




2. Like the wine in the tree

man has been

rather reckless and free.

Thrown far and wide,

He longs to settle down

beside the stream

flowing through eternity




3. Like the grass on the lawn,

He will pass by the way and be gone

A lesson to learn,

we walk but once,

there's no return.

Time is always moving on.




4. Man is longing for one

for a song and a place in the sun,

for home up above,

where ev'ry day is lived in love,

for rest when the journey is done.
