Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Improve the passing hours Lyrics: 1 Improve the passing hours, For time is on the wing; Sip honey from the flowers, And merrily, merrily sing,-- O, sing. All folly ends in sadness, And trouble it will bring; But wisdom leads to gladness, And merrily, merrily sing,-- O, sing. 2 Repine not, if from labor Your health and comfort spring; Work hard, and help your neighbor, And merrily, merrily sing,-- O, sing. Store not your minds with fable, To truth your homage bring; Do all the good you are able, And merrily, merrily sing,-- O, sing.
