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!
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!
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!
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!

Fairest flowers soon decay,
Youth and beauty pass away;
O 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 hopeless doom,
Be in time!
Youth and beauty pass away;
O 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 hopeless doom,
Be in time!

Time is gliding swiftly by,
Death and judgment draweth nigh,
To the arms of Jesus fly,
Be in time!
O I pray you count the cost!
Ere the fatal line be crossed,
And your soul in hell be lost,
Be in time!
Death and judgment draweth nigh,
To the arms of Jesus fly,
Be in time!
O I pray you count the cost!
Ere the fatal line be crossed,
And your soul in hell be lost,
Be in time!

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 you right;
Come, receive His life tonight,
Be in time!
Make the Lord your final choice,
Then all heaven will rejoice,
Be in time!
Come from darkness into light;
Come, let Jesus make you right;
Come, receive His life tonight,
Be in time!

I love this song. It is the first song the Lord used me to minister to a congregation many years ago as a student; many lives were touched. The memory is ever fresh in my heart.

Yes, life at best is very brief. Let's be in time for the King of Glory is coming! When? Soon. Just Be in time!
While the voice of Jesus calls you, be in time. If in sin you no longer wait,
You may find no open gate,
And your cry be just too late.
Please, please, come to Jesus.
Think about finding no open gate in front of you on that day. It's terrible.
But you know what everbody can avoid that. You can avoid that!
Come from darkness into light;
Please come and let Jesus make you right;
Come receive His Life now.
Be in time. Don't wait for life is very brief. Come to Jesus now!
Love You all.

This song is a clarion call to all Christians to know that our candles are burning off gradually and we must be up and doing in the work of the Master as the Great Day draws near. We must also preach the gospel like a dying man to a dying world, peradventure, we may save some from eternal perdition.
"I must work the works of Him that sent me while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work"

Uplifting song to the soul that is calling us to get closer to meet our Savior by making a decision in time Now.
It really reminds us that we need to keep watch and pray and we wait upon our reader. Our life is so short in this world.

Life truly is very brief
Make us true to our call, O Lord
Before we drop off this earth like a falling leaf.

I am putting this hymn at the conclusion of my husband's biography. He went to be with the Lord in 2009, and played and sang this hymn in the 1940's. It bring back many memories.
