#226 "Improve the Shining Moments"

I have happy memories of my dad humming this song as he shaved as he got ready for church on Sundays.  I especially remember him singing the second verse:  "Time flies on wings of lightning; We cannot call it back."

I have a note in my personal hymnal to sing a "Sunshine Medley" by singing the first verse of the hymns on pages 226, 227, 228, 229, and 230.  Each song is in the key of G, so you could sing each one without an interlude between the hymns. 

I also have a note that you can switch the words and music of hymns #226 and #251:  "Improve the Shining Moments" and "Behold! A Royal Army".  I don't think I've actually tried it in a church setting, but I sang it in my mind and it works!
