Time and death appeal to Thee. 2 Life is earnest; when 'tis o'er, Thou returnest never more; Soon to meet eternity; Wilt Thou never serious be? 3 God is earnest; kneel and pray, Ere thy season pass away; Ere He set His judgment throne— Vengeance ready, mercy gone. 4 O be earnest! death is near; Thou wilt perish, ling'ring here: Sleep no longer, rise and flee; Lo! thy Saviour waits for thee!
