English text

1. Alas, how fast our moments fly!
How short our months appear!
How swift through various seasons hastes
The still-revolving year!

2. Season of grace, and days of hope,
While Jesus waiting stands,
And spreads the blessings of his love
With wide-extended hands.

3. But O! how slow our stupid souls
These blessings to secure!
Blessings, which through eternal years
Unwithering shall endure.

4. Beneath the word of life we die;
We starve amidst our store;
And what salvation should impart
Heightens our ruin more.

5. Pity this madness, God of love,
And make us truly wise:
So from the pregnant seeds of grace
Shall glorious harvests rise.
