Taking Time

Tune: Gwalchmai

(\'King of glory, King of peace\')

********

What scribblings, what musings?

What song heart sings?

While free time to meditate

Or contemplate

Using time wisely, not waste

Nor use in haste

The Lord\'s appointing each day

Seek Him and pray

 

Trust His life and love and power

Through each hour

Redeeming time, it be ours

Twenty-four hours

In each day, yet still abide

In Christ confide

Morning, night, and afternoon

With Him commune

 

Light and life and salvation

To each nation

He does bring, to Him praise sing

Rest \'neath His wing

Earthly time not last for e\'er

But hope we share

Eternity with him spend

Christ our true Friend [of sinners]
