There remains not much more time

There remains not much more time

Soon we leave this earthly clime.

Rapture comes

not lingering;

Soon we’ll see the heav’nly King.

Diligent we’ll ever be

Till our Savior we can see.

Diligent to serve Him here

Work and labor without fear;

By the Cross

our self outpoured

Willingly to serve the Lord.

Keep on “trading

” He is near;

Our reward will soon appear.

Face the evils forcefully

Fight the evils ardently.

Face the troubles

fight on through

Nor withdraw till peace accrue.

Watching

praying day and night

Standing firmly in the fight.

Time is like an arrow bold

Soon we hope to be consoled.

Spirit

soul

and body must

Not throw off His ruling trust.

May we always be aware

And for His return prepare.

Be prepared though often shamed

Be prepared though e’en defamed.

Be prepared through all of life

Watching

praying in the strife:

Lord

do come without delay!

Even come

dear Lord

today!
