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

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

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
