There Is Time

By Eliza H. Morton

There's time, ah, yes, there's time enough For what is near the heart. That which we really want to do, Of life becomes a part.

We say, "No time," when burdens press, And let the chance go by To cheer a lonely, weary soul, To check a homesick sigh.

There's time; it takes not long to speak A word, not long to give A smile, not long to clasp a hand. Then sweet 'twould be to live.

We never see the tears concealed, We never know the pain We might have eased, unless it comes In circles back again.

There's time for all that's noble, true, Tho time is on the wing; But ah, there're things forever gone That time can never bring.

But time will heal what sin has marred; And in the future days, For us it is to reflect Christ In all our words and ways.
