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.
