Speed for thy life to the mountain, Slight not the message divine, Danger and death are before thee, Haste, while the hours are thine. Refrain Speed thee, speed thee; Shadows around thee are falling; Speed thee, speed thee; Come while the Savior is calling. Speed for thy life to the mountain, List to the warning again; Forward, and look not behind thee, Stay not in all the plain. Refrain Speed, for the day is declining, Soon its bright moments will fade; What if a storm should o'ertake thee, Where would thou turn for aid? Refrain Speed for thy life to the mountain, Fly like a bird to its nest, Fly to the arms of the Savior: There is thy only rest. Refrain
