Honest Hours

"Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him" (John 11:9,10).

Among the twelve hours of light in the day,
There is not even one we should waste
By walking in darkness and going astray,
For our nightfall is coming in haste.

Shall we not walk everyday in the light
Of living to please our dear Lord?
Shall we not honestly walk in His sight
With all of the grace He’ll afford?

How quickly the sun on your short day will set!
Your days and your hours are numbered.
The twelfth hour comes! Will it bring you regret
For work left undone while you slumbered?
