VERSE 1
Days and moments quickly flying
Speed us onward to the dead
Oh, how soon shall we be lying,
Each within his narrow bed!
VERSE 2
Jesus, merciful Redeemer
Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice
Wake, oh wake each idle dreamer
Now to make th'eternal choice.
VERSE 3
Mark we whither we are wending
Ponder how we soon must go
To inherit bliss un-ending
Or eternity of woe.
VERSE 4
Life passeth soon death draweth near
Keep us, Lord till Thou appear
With Thee to live with Thee to die
With Thee to reign evermore.
VERSE 5
As a shadow life is fleeting
As a vapour so it flies,
For the bygone years retreating
Pardon grant, and make us wise.
VERSE 6
Wise that we our days may number
Strive and wrestle with our sin
Stay not in our work nor slumber
Till Thy holy rest we win.
VERSE 7
Soon before the Judge all glorious
We with all the dead shall stand
Saviour, over death victorious
Place us then on Thy right hand.
VERSE 8
Life passeth soon death draweth near
Keep us, Lord till Thou appear
With Thee to live with Thee to die
With Thee to reign evermore.
