- 1To-morrow, Lord, is Thine,
- Lodged in Thy sovereign hand;
- And if its sun arise and shine,
- It shines by Thy command.
- 2The present moment flies,
- And bears our life away;
- O make Thy servants truly wise,
- That they may live to-day.
- 3Since on this wingèd hour
- Eternity is hung,
- Waken, by Thine Almighty power,
- The aged and the young.
- 4One thing demands our care;
- O be it still pursued,
- Lest, slighted once, the season fair
- Should never be renew'd.
- 5To Jesus may we fly
- Swift as the morning light,
- Lest life's young golden beams should die
- In sudden, endless night.
