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; O you have not long to stay, Be in time! While God's Spirit bids you come, Sinner, do not longer roam, Lest you seal your hopeless doom, 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! |

Time is gliding swiftly by, Death and judgment draweth nigh, To the arms of Jesus fly, Be in time! O I pray you count the cost! Ere the fatal line be crossed, And your soul in hell be lost, 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! |

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, receive His life tonight, 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! |
