We are given its allotment
In a measure preordained
And we ought to treasure ardently
Each twinkle unrestrained
For its moment-spun oblation
Is a bidding from above
To embrace its obligation
In an offering of love
This sphere on which we tally
Life's tick of hour and year
Shapes time’s small dilly-dally
Which at death will disappear
So we ought to employ wisely
Time’s delicate amount
For the Giver of its gifting
Will require an account

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow
in wisdom. Ps. 90:12 NLT
