Exalted Praise ‎#61

61. Sunshine Minutes

1 As the days are passing by,
On swift wings the minutes fly;
Saviour dear, we pray to Thee,
Sunshine minutes let them be.

Refrain:
Help us, help us Lord, we pray
Not to waste our time away;
Consecrated all to Thee,
Sunshine minutes let them be.

2 Coming to us fresh and new,
To each one may we be true;
Fill’d with deeds of love for Thee,
Sunshine minutes let them be. [Refrain]

3 Help us keep this tho’t in mind;
Minutes lost we shall not find;
Consecrated each to Thee,
Sunshine minutes let them be. [Refrain]

4 If we spend the minutes right,
Then our days will all be bright,
That the world Thy love may see,
Sunshine minutes let them be. [Refrain]
