1 Why should we boast of time to come,
Though but a single day?
This hour may fix our final doom,
Though strong, and young, and gay.
2 The present we should now redeem;
This only is our own;
The past, alas! is all a dream;
The future is unknown.
3 O think what vast concerns depend
Upon a moment's space,
When life and all its cares shall end
In vengeance or in grace.
4 O for that power which melts the heart,
And lifts the soul on high!
Where sin and grief and death depart,
And pleasures never die.
