Life at best is very brief,
飄渺人生何短暫，
Like the falling of a leaf,
好似浮雲現即散，
Like the binding of a sheaf,
又似幻夢醒就完
Be in time!
要及時！
Fleeting days are telling fast
時日飛逝在宣言：
That the die will soon be cast,
轉瞬就到死亡線，
And the fatal line be passed,
再遲必在地獄間
Be in time!
要及時！

Be in time! Be in time!
要及時！要及時！
While the voice of Jesus calls you,
當今耶穌在召喚：
Be in time!
要及時！
If in sin you longer wait,
若在罪中仍流連，
You may find no open gate,
只怕恩門向你關，
And your cry be just too late:
那時呼救已太晚
Be in time!
要及時！

Fairest flowers soon decay,
誰是智者，該想看
Youth and beauty pass away;
鮮花朝豔暮凋殘，
O you have not long to stay,
英年要去何能挽？
Be in time!
要及時！
While God’s Spirit bids you come,
哦，我求你早打算，
Sinner, do not longer roam,
免得過了死亡線，
Lest you seal your hopeless doom,
靈魂喪在地獄間
Be in time!
要及時！

Time is gliding swiftly by,
聖靈仍在把你感，
Death and judgment draweth nigh,
時常與你來爭戰，
To the arms of Jesus fly,
何不降服得平安？
Be in time!
要及時！
O I pray you count the cost!
救主等候賜恩典，
Ere the fatal line be crossed,
願意救你免悲慘；
And your soul in hell be lost,
你若躊躇何愚頑！
Be in time!
要及時！

Sinner, heed the warning voice,
罪人，請聽我忠言，
Make the Lord your final choice,
莫把救恩視等閒，
Then all heaven will rejoice,
速把救主來揀選
Be in time!
要及時！
Come from darkness into light;
來投耶穌懷裡面，
Come, let Jesus make you right;
來接基督進心間，
Come, receive His life tonight,
來就救主趁今天
Be in time!
要及時！
