P Life Is The Time To Serve The Lord
Listing Details
Life is the time to serve the Lord
The time to insure a great reward
And wilst the lamp holds our to burn
The vilest sinner may return
The time to insure a great reward
And wilst the lamp holds our to burn
The vilest sinner may return

This is the first verse of a hymn called 'Life is the time to serve the Lord'.
All three verses are included below:
Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t’insure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return.
Life is the hour that God has giv’n,
To escape hell and fly to heav’n;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessing of the day.
The living know that they must die,
But all the dead forgotten lie;
Their mem’ry and their sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.
