Life at best is very brief

Life at best is very brief

Like the falling of a leaf

Like the binding of a sheaf

Be in time!

Fleeting days are telling fast

That the die will soon be cast

And the fatal line be passed

Be in time!

Be in time! Be in time!

While the voice of Jesus calls you

Be in time!

If in sin you longer wait

You may find no open gate

And your cry be just too late:

Be in time!

Fairest flowers soon decay

Youth and beauty pass away;

O you have not long to stay

Be in time!

While God’s Spirit bids you come

Sinner

do not longer roam

Lest you seal your hopeless doom

Be in time!

Time is gliding swiftly by

Death and judgment draweth nigh

To the arms of Jesus fly

Be in time!

O I pray you count the cost!

Ere the fatal line be crossed

And your soul in hell be lost

Be in time!

Sinner

heed the warning voice

Make the Lord your final choice

Then all heaven will rejoice

Be in time!

Come from darkness into light;

Come

let Jesus make you right;

Come

receive His life tonight

Be in time!
