Sunday School Voices, No.2 ‎#83

83. Haste, Haste, Haste

1 Haste, haste, haste, in the business of the King,
While, to do his bidding, golden hours are on the wing;
Step, step, step, in his footprints, day by day,
Spreading joy around you making sunshine by the way.

Chorus:
Lift your voice with gladness, and aloud his praises sing,
Haste, haste, haste, in the business of the King;
Till the gates shall open, and the harps of glory ring,
Haste, haste, haste, in the business of the King.

2 Haste, haste, haste, in the business of the King,
Not to worldly pleasures, not to selfish int’rests cling;
Tell, tell, tell the sweet story of his grace,
Strive to rescue others, while the moments fly apace. [Chorus]

3 Haste, haste, haste, in the business of the King,
Ere the day declining shall its lingth’ning shadows fling;
Love, love, love, makes his service a delight,
Give your all to Jesus; you shall walk with him in white. [Chorus]
