1. “Redeeming the time;”
Be ye instant in season,
Thus ready to meet the demand;
Duties as given to us by the Master,
Who ruleth the world by His hand.
Chorus:
Redeeming the time; (Redeeming the time, redeeming the time;)
Arouse ye to duty each day (each day);
Redeeming the time, (Redeeming the time, yes, redeeming the time,)
The Master will soon come away.
2. “Redeeming the time;”
We who walk thro’ life’s pathway,
The path which our Master has trod;
O let us bring forth the fruits of the Spirit,
As promised to us in His word.
3. “Redeeming the time;”
Let us always redeem it,
For evil abounds in our day;
“Be not unwise,” saith the voice of the Spirit,
“But walk circumspectly the way.”
4. “Redeeming the time;”
For the day hasteth greatly,
When Jesus our Master will come;
Be ye well knowing the will of the Father,
And doing His work may save some.
