Life, the Day of Grace.

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 'scape from hell, and fly to heav'n; The day of grace, and mortals may Secure the blessings of the day.

Then what my thoughts design to do, My hands with all their might pursue, Since no device nor work is found, Nor faith, nor hope beneath the ground.
