Now 'tis day, be up and doing,
Loiter not in folly's ways;
"One thing needful," still be wooing, Soon shall prayer be chang'd to praise.
While such gifts are in thy keeping,
Life and fair unmingled joy;
Why art thou at play or sleeping,
Time and talent thus destroy?
Keep thee close to him that's calling,
"Watch and pray, for lo! I come;"
Save, O Lord, thy dust from falling,
Till renew'd and taken home.
