Life At Best

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 God's Spirit bids you come,

Sinner, do no longer roam,

Lest you seal your hopeless doom,

Be in time.

Time is gliding swiftly by,

Death and judgement drawer nigh,

To the arms of Jesus fly,

Be in time,

Oh! I pray you, count
