1 Swiftly we're turning life's daily pages,
Swiftly the hours are changing to years;
How are we using God's golden moments?
Shall we reap glory Shall we reap tears?

Refrain:
Into our hands the gospel is given,
Into our hands is given the light,
Haste let us carry God's precious message,
Guiding the erring back to the right.

2 Millions are groping without the gospel,
Quickly they'll reach eternity's night;
Shall we sit idly as they rush onward?
Haste, let us hold up Christ the true light. [Refrain]

3 Souls that are precious, souls that are dying,
While we rejoice our sins are forgiv'n;
Did He not also die for these lost ones?
Then let us point the way unto heav'n. [Refrain]
