THE VALUE OF TIME.
Ifidly spent, no art or careTime’s blessing can restore;And God requires a strict accountFor every misspent hour.Short is our longest day of life,And soon the prospect ends;Yet on that day’s uncertain dateEternity depends.
Ifidly spent, no art or careTime’s blessing can restore;And God requires a strict accountFor every misspent hour.Short is our longest day of life,And soon the prospect ends;Yet on that day’s uncertain dateEternity depends.
Ifidly spent, no art or careTime’s blessing can restore;And God requires a strict accountFor every misspent hour.
Ifidly spent, no art or care
Time’s blessing can restore;
And God requires a strict account
For every misspent hour.
Short is our longest day of life,And soon the prospect ends;Yet on that day’s uncertain dateEternity depends.
Short is our longest day of life,
And soon the prospect ends;
Yet on that day’s uncertain date
Eternity depends.
