Life is passing quickly as a vapor; Life is passing quickly as a vapor

Soon our opportunities are past.

May God give us grace to work and labor.

Only what is done for Christ will last.

Just a little while our life shall be.

Time is short and life is very precious.

Soon we’ll go into eternity.

Every day the Lord gives precious chances

To deny ourselves and do His will.

Soon the day is past as night advances.

Let us use the time that we have still.

Satan tries to rob us of our vision,

Burdening our hearts with earthly things.

In each moment make the right decision

Choose to serve the Lord in everything.

What a happy life that we experience

If we use each moment for the best.

Soon we’ll be prepared for Christ’s appearance,

And from labor enter into rest.
