Hymn 221

Days are quickly fleeting by

Meter: 8.7.8.7.

Scripture: Isaiah 55:6

1

Days are quickly fleeting by,

Death hurries close near at hand;

Sinner, still in mockery yet,

Death stares you full in the face.

2

Life is fleeting, when it ends

You will ne’er come back again;

You go to eternity,

Is not meet that you think?

3

God hears and He answers pray’r,

Pray before your life's o’er;

Wait not for His judgement throne

Till mercy’s o’er, vengeance falls.

4

Prepare quickly death is near,

If you linger, you’ll perish;

Wake up, arise and hurry,

The Saviour’s expecting you.
