[O that to me were given]
Walk...not as fools, but as wise, redeeming, &c.
—v. 15, 16.
O that to me were given
The wisdom from above,
A candidate for heaven,
My precious time to' improve.
To buy up every hour,
And every sinew strain,
And use mine utmost power
Eternal life to gain.

To buy up every hour,
And every sinew strain,
And use mine utmost power

My God, most high, most holy,
No more may I offend;
My life of impious folly,
This moment let it end!
This moment, Lord, beginning
To taste Thy pardoning grace,
O bid me cease from sinning,
And start, and win the race.
