Shall this life of mine be wasted?
Shall this vineyard lie untilled?
Shall true joy pass by untasted,
And this soul remain unfilled?
No! No! No! No!
Ever faithful let me be,
And each precious hour redeeming,
Wait for thee, eternity.
Shall the God-given hours be scattered,
Like the leaves upon the plain?
Shall the blossoms die unwatered
By the drops of heavenly rain?
No! No! No! No!
Ever faithful let me be,
And each precious hour redeeming,
Wait for thee, eternity.
No, I was not born to trifle
Life away in dreams or sin!
No, I must not, dare not stifle
Longings such as these within!
No! No! No! No!
Ever faithful let me be,
And each precious hour redeeming,
Wait for thee, eternity.
Swiftly moving, upward, onward,
Let my soul in faith be borne;
Calmly gazing, skyward, sunward,
Let my eye unshrinking turn!
No! No! No! No!
Ever faithful let me be,
And each precious hour redeeming,
Wait for thee, eternity.
