How Should We Spend Our Time?

How should we spend our time?

In fol­ly and in sin?

Nay

ra­ther let us seek while here

Some souls for Christ to win.

Then

up and be do­ing

Go

work while you may;

Life swift­ly is fleet­ing

Why long­er de­lay?

Press on­ward to bat­tle

Be strong in the Lord;

He’ll bear you up brave­ly

Go

trust­ing His Word.

How should we spend our time?

In heap­ing world­ly gains?

Oh

no

we’ll lay our trea­sure up

In Heav’n

where Je­sus reigns.

How should we spend our time?

To gain th’ap­plause of man?

No

no

we’ll work

and al­ways seek

To praise the great I AM.

Then let us trea­sure time

And live in do­ing good

Remembering that to God we owe

Our last­ing gra­ti­tude.
