SS&S 437: LIFE AT BEST IS VERY BRIEF
1. 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!
2. Fairest flowers soon decay,
Youth and beauty pass away;
Oh, 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!
3. Time is gliding swiftly by,
Death and judgment draweth nigh,
To the arms of Jesus fly:
Be in time!
Oh, I pray you count the cost,
Ere the fatal line be crossed,
And your soul in hell be lost:
Be in time!
4. 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, and start for heaven to-night
Be in time!
