Haste away

1 O haste away, the moments fly,
Our working days will soon pass by;
Go forth on hill and busy pain,
No toil for God is ever vain.
O haste away, and do your part
With willing hands and faithful heart,
The hardest task content to take,
With earnest zeal, for his dear sake.

Refrain:
Then haste away,
Do not delay,
Time flies so fast,
Life will not last.
Go prove his word,
You’ll find it true;
A great reward
He offers you.
Then haste away,
Do not delay,
Beyond the skies,
Awaits your prize;
Then haste away,
O haste away,
The King of kings is calling you.

2 O haste away, press up and on
The narrow path where Christ has gone;
Your very best with gladness bring,
In loyal homage to the King.
O haste away, nor stay content
Until love’s treasures all are spent;
Each lowly act of charity
By him will well remembered by. [Refrain]

3 O haste away, the guiding light
Fills darkest paths with glory bright;
Let living hope each heart inspire;
To grow like him be your desire.
O haste away the works to share,
You’ll surely find the Master there;
The deepest joy your heart can know
Will be his fellowship below. [Refrain]
