LyicsTHE present moment flies,
And bears our life away;
Oh make thy servants truly wise,
That they may live to-day.
One thing demands our care;
Oh! be that still pursued!
Lest, slighted once, the season fair
Should never be renewed.
To Jesus may we fly,
Swift as the morning light,
Lest life's young, golden beams should die
In sudden, endless night.
