13978. All Yesterday Is Past

1 All yesterday is past,
Tomorrow’s not our own;
Today may be our final chance
To bow before the throne.

2 Tomorrow, Lord is Thine,
Lodged in Thy sovereign hand;
And if its sun arise and shine,
It shines by Thy command.

3 The present moment flies
And bears our life away;
Oh, make the careless truly wise,
That they may live today.

4 Hear ye His voice today,
And harden not your heart;
Tomorrow He in justice may
Pronounce the doom, Depart.

5 Upon a fleeting hour
Eternity is hung;
Lord, waken by Thy mighty power
The agèd and the young.
