How fleeting is man's time

Lyrics

1. How fleeting is man’s time on earth, eternity soon follows birth! How many called by death’s dark night have seen the light? Dear Brother, dear Sister, may this not be your plight!
2. This life is as a passing dream, like bubbles floating on a stream; Its beauty is but for a time, until death’s chime! Dear Brother, dear Sister, seek godly goal sublime!
3. Flee vanity, a foolish joy, my strength in virtue I employ. Towards this I strive here constantly, most earnestly. Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus, O how I long for Thee!
