Life at best is very brief
Like the falling of a leaf
Like the binding of a sheath
Be in time

Fleeting days are telling fast
That the die will soon be cast
And the fatal line be passed
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
Sinners do not longer roam
Lest you lose your way back home
Be in time, won't you be in time

Lord I want to live for you
Give all I can give for you
Help me, Jesus, to make
The most of my time

Fleeting days are telling fast
That the die will soon be cast
And the fatal line be passed
Be in time
Lord, help me be in time
