Transient Treasure

"Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom... And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish Thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it" (Psalm 90:12,17). "There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man spendeth it up" (Proverbs 21:20).

Transient treasure in a day
Is there for us to use,
And if we don't, it goes away
And all its value lose.

Transient treasure in each hour
Is there from God to take,
To draw upon His grace and power
And live for Jesus' sake.

Transient treasure in a minute
That God now bids us claim:
Eternity is granted in it
To call on Jesus' name.
