1 Oh, grasp the golden moments,
As quickly on they fly,
And tune your heart to music,
The music of the sky.

Refrain:
Haste to improve every moment;
Hasten ere all shall be o’er,
Sing and your song shall reecho
Far o’er the earth to eternity’s shore.

2 Go out upon the highway,
And sing your song to men;
They’ll stop to hear and ask you
To sing that song again. [Refrain]

3 They long to hear the message,
That message from above;
The precious words of Jesus,
For every word is love. [Refrain]

4 Then grasp the golden moments,
They’re slipping one by one;
And haste to do your duty,
Before they all are gone. [Refrain]
