Time is now quickly passing,
Time is now growing short,
Time to be used or wasted,
Time to gain much, or to gain nought.
What have I spent for my saviour,
What time, spent living for him,
What time is wasted on triffles,
What time, saving others from sin?
Now is the time to be holy,
Now is the time we can pray,
Earnestly pleading with sinners
To be saved in time while they may.
Thirty years Christ spent living,
Three short years’ ministry,
Six cruel hours when dying,
He spent all this time to save me.
