1. Make haste, O man, to live,
For thou so soon must die:
Time hurries past thee like the breeze;
How swift its moments fly!
2. Make haste, O man, to do
Whatever must be done;
Thou hast no time to lose in sloth,
The day will soon be gone.
3. Up, then, with speed, and work;
Fling ease and self away;
This is no time for thee to sleep,
Up, watch, and work, and pray!
4. Make haste, O man, to live,
Thy time is almost o’er;
O sleep not, dream not, but arise,
The Judge is at the door.
