As the world rushes on

As the world rushes on

I’m reminded of Thee.

Though time passes away

There’s eternity in me.

Now nothing ’neath the sun

But Thou and Thou alone

Can satisfy my heart.

Things temp’ral will not do;

I’d things above pursue;

Eternal One

Thou art.

Priceless ’tis

now I see

To spend time seeking Thee.

Time is precious to me

Limited in quantity.

Lord

I just want to spend

My time with only Thee

For Thou art worthy Lord.

I’d every moment seize

Not one spent without Thee

But with my love

my Lord.

How can I spend my time

That it’d be valuable

Thousand-fold multiplied

Ever our memorial?

I’d rather spend a day

With Thee and with Thy saints

Than thousand days away.

One thing

that do I seek

To dwell within Thy house

Beholding Thee always.

New beginning I ask.

All my heart

capture more;

All my time

spent with Thee;

All my days

on Thee outpoured.

The time

may I redeem

From many wasted days

From wand’ring aimlessly.

More time I cannot waste;

Thou long didst wait for me

To turn my being to Thee.
