Make Haste, O Man, to Live (EN 1544)

EN 1544 Make Haste, O Man, to Live

Ps.103.15

Versi Version 1

1

Make haste, O man, to live,

For thou so soon must die;

Time hurries past thee like the breeze;

How swift its moments fly!

2

To breathe, and wake, and sleep,

To smile, to sigh, to grieve;

To move in idleness through earth,

This, this is not to live!

3

Up, then, with speed, and work;

Fling ease and self away;

This is no time for thee to sleep,

Up, watch, and work, and pray!

4

The useful, not the great,

The thing that never dies,

The silent toil that is not lost—

Set these before thine eyes.

5

The seed, whose leaf and flower,

Though poor in human sight,

Bring forth at last th’eternal fruit,

Sow thou by day and night.

6

Make haste, O man, to live,

Thy time is almost o’er;

O sleep not, dream not, but arise,

The Judge is at the door!
