1. Christ comes quickly for His Bride,
  Wedding feast He will provide,
  Garments bright and pure supplied�� Dress in time!
  Taking Christ as life she's dressed,
  By much suffering stitched and pressed;
  Righteous acts are thus possessed�� Dress in time!
(Chorus:)
  Be in time! Be in time!
  For the marriage feast of Jesus Be in time!
  If your soul life you deny
  And the Spirit you apply,
  Then you'll fully qualify�� Be in time!
2. Virgins Christ comes quickly for,
  Those with oil an extra store,
  Not the fools who oil ignore�� Buy in time!
  For the oil a price we pay,
  Deal with self without delay,
  Fill your vessels every day�� Buy in time!
3. For His servants Christ will come
  And reward each faithful one;
  Slothful ones will be undone�� Serve in time!
  Make your single talent count,
  All self's problems now surmount,
  Serve with Christ, the living fount�� Serve in time!
(Chorus:)
  Be in time! Be in time!
  For the marriage feast of Jesus Be in time!
  If your soul life you deny
  And the Spirit you apply,
  Then you'll fully qualify�� Be in time!
4. Christ comes quickly for His grain,
  Ripened firstfruits to obtain;
  Unripe harvest will remain�� Ripen now!
  From earth's water grain must dry,
  From the world your soul deny;
  To mature the self must die�� Ripen now!
5. Overcomers Christ will take,
  Those who all for Him forsake,
  Those who of first love partake�� Win in time!
  All the deadness overcome,
  With the living Christ be one,
  Toward the goal now swiftly run�� Win in time!
(Chorus:)
  Be in time! Be in time!
  For the marriage feast of Jesus Be in time!
  If your soul life you deny
  And the Spirit you apply,
  Then you'll fully qualify�� Be in time!
6. Christ comes for His kingdom too;
  Heav'nly reign we must pursue,
  Let His rule our self subdue�� Yield in time!
  Rebel self must be dethroned,
  Lessons must not be postponed,
  Quickly yield to Christ enthroned�� Yield in time!
