For thou so soon must die;
Time hurries past thee like the breeze;
How swift its moments fly!
2 Make haste, O man, to do
Whatever must be done;
Thou hast no time to lose in sloth,
Thy day will soon be gone.
3 Up, then, with speed, and work;
Fling ease and self away;
This is no time for thee to sleep,
Up, watch, and work, and pray!
4 Make haste, O man, to live,
Thy time is almost o'er;
O sleep not, dream not, but arise,
The Judge is at the door. Topics: Christ Compassion of; Christ Judge; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism; Duty; Judge, Christ our ; Time, Redeeming the; Procrastination Used With Tune: BOYLSTON
