Lyrics to the hymn, Be In Time

A pretty country-side 


Introduction 

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that your questions are answered in this blog post.

Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Be In Time. I am not sure who wrote it, or when. Sorry.

It is about how we can't know how long we are going to life, and should therefore be trying to live for Jesus.

If you don't know how the tune goes, look up Squirrel 24 on YouTube; it is my favorite version of the song, and the congregation did a pretty good job.

Now, on with the show!

(Sorry, can't think of a better outro)

Unprofessionally taken, but it looks cool

The Lyrics 

Verse 1 

Life at best is very brief, 

Like the falling of a leaf,

Like the binding of  a sheaf, 

Be in time.

Fleeting days are telling fast

That the die will soon be cast,

And the fatal line be passed,

Be in time.

Chorus

Be in time, be in time;

While the voice of Jesus calls you,

Be in time.

If in sin you longer wait, 

You may find no open gate,

And your cry be just too late,

Be in time.

Verse 2 

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, 

Sinner, do not longer roam,

Lest you seal your helpless doom, 

Be in time.

Chorus

Be in time, be in time;

While the voice of Jesus calls you,

Be in time.

If in sin you longer wait, 

You may find no open gate,

And your cry be just too late,

Be in time.

Verse 3 

Time is gliding swiftly by,

Death and judgement draweth nigh,

To the arms of Jesus fly, 

Be in time.

Oh, I pray you count the cost, 

Ere the fatal line be cost, 

And your soul in Hell be lost,

Be in time.

Chorus

Be in time, be in time;

While the voice of Jesus calls you,

Be in time.

If in sin you longer wait, 

You may find no open gate,

And your cry be just too late,

Be in time.

Verse 4 

Sinner, heed the warning voice, 

Make the Lord your final choice, 

Then all Heaven will rejoice,

Be in time.

Come from darkness into light,

Come let Jesus make right,

Come and start for Heaven tonight, 

Be in time.

Chorus

Be in time, be in time;

While the voice of Jesus calls you,

Be in time.

If in sin you longer wait, 

You may find no open gate,

And your cry be just too late,

Be in time.


Cars and a bridge

Afterwards

I heard it recently, and it is now one of my favorite songs.

My friends, be in time. 

Forever is not forever, and you could die at any moment. 

Accept Jesus into your heart, then tell others about Him; the world is lost, and is on the way to Hell. 


If there is a subject that you want me to cover, let me know down in the comments; I love hearing from you.

Lyrics to the hymn, This Is My Father's world

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
