Time grows short

Dear Jesus, please: come in glory!

Dear Jesus, please: return soon!

As we go about and spread the faith

To all corners of this earth here

To all continents and over all the seas

Let us rejoice in your second coming

Let us welcome the bridegroom

Oh Lord we who are in darkness

Though we must wait and wait

We must go about our duties

Never shirking; never pausing

Lest it become too late

So though we truly know not

Though we must also wait

Up in heaven all things are working

Toward that precious renewal

Toward that blessing at the strait gate

So come dear lamb of purest white

Though we know not the time of your coming

We do know that time grows short!
