Time Enough

Verse 1

Time enough, the sluggard cries, He thinks the season’s slow; Yet time enough, he hopes, and dies, And sinks to endless woe.

Chorus

Sinful man, thy days are few, Sinful man, thy days are few; Swiftly the years decline: Time will never wait for you, Only now is thine.

Verse 2

Time enough, the fool exclaims, And mocks his awful doom; Then cries, when bound in icy chains, “Oh, must I go so soon?”

Verse 3

Time enough, the sleeper dreams, While death is standing by; Soon lost amid eternal scenes, He wakes to Satan’s lie.

Verse 4

Time enough, oh, cursed spell! Sing not that siren song, Ye mortals on the brink of hell, Where time is endless long.
