Life at best is very brief



    • 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! 

    • Fairest flowers soon decay, 
    • youth and beauty pass away, 
    • oh, you have not long to stay, 
    • be in time! 
    • While the Spirit bids you come, 
    • sinner, do not longer roam, 
    • lest you seal your hopeless doom, be in time! 

    • Time is gliding swiftly by, 
    • death and judgement drawing 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! 

    • 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 tonight, 
    • be in time! ......
