The present time, and that alone,
Is all that we can call our own;
No human wisdom, love, or power,
Can give to us another hour.
Then, sinner, knock at mercy’s gate,
And pardon seek ere ‘tis too late;
The work of life can ill be done,
When time and health and strength are gone.
Whate’er our hands now find to do,
May we this day with zeal pursue;
And use the moments as they fly,
Perchance to-morrow we may die.
