Lyics

Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t'insure the great reward,
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
O hasten, sinner, to return,
O hasten, sinner, to return.


Rejoice, O earth! the Lord is King!
To him your humble tribute bring;
Let Jacob rise, and Zion sing,
And all the world with praises ring,
And give to Jesus glory.


O may the saints of ev'ry name
Unite to serve the bleeding Lamb!
May jars and discords cease to flame,
And all, the Savior's love proclaim,
And give to Jesus glory.
