EN 6049 Time, by Moments, Steals Away

Rev.20.12

Versi Version 1

1

Time, by moments, steals away,

First the hour, and then the day;

Small the daily loss appears,

Yet it soon amounts to years:

Thus another year is flown,

Now it is no more our own

(If it brought or promised good)

Than the years before the flood.

2

But (may none of us forget)

It has left us much in debt;

Favors from the Lord received,

Sins that have His Spirit grieved;

Marked by an unerring hand

In His book recorded stand;

Who can tell the vast amount,

Placed to each of our account?

3

Happy, the believing soul!

Christ for you has paid the whole;

While you own the debt is large,

You may plead a full discharge:

But poor careless sinner, say,

What can you to justice pay?

Tremble, lest when life is past,

Into prison you be cast!

4

Will you still increase the score?

Still be careless, as before?

O, forbid it, gracious Lord,

Touch their spirits by Thy Word!

Now, in mercy, to them show

What a mighty debt they owe!

All their unbelief subdue,

Let them find forgiveness too.

5

Spared to see another year,

Let Thy blessing meet us here;

Come, Thy dying work revive,

Bid Thy drooping garden thrive:

Sun of righteousness arise!

Warm our hearts, and bless our eyes;

Let our prayer Thy bowels move,

Make this year a time of love!
