The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6275

6275. Speed for Thy Life

1. Speed for thy life to the mountain,
Slight not the message divine,
Danger and death are before thee,
Haste, while the hours are thine.

Refrain
Speed thee, speed thee;
Shadows around thee are falling;
Speed thee, speed thee;
Come while the Savior is calling.

2. Speed for thy life to the mountain,
List to the warning again;
Forward, and look not behind thee,
Stay not in all the plain. [Refrain]

3. Speed, for the day is declining,
Soon its bright moments will fade;
What if a storm should o’ertake thee,
Where would thou turn for aid? [Refrain]

4. Speed for thy life to the mountain,
Fly like a bird to its nest,
Fly to the arms of the Savior:
There is thy only rest. [Refrain]
