John Robson Sweney (1837-1899)

Do your best while life's pilgrim way you tread,
Scatt'ring sunshine while you may;
Bear in mind, while the precious seed you spread,
Only once you pass this way.

Refrain

Only once you pass this way,
Only once you pass this way;
Be a blessing while you may,
Only once you pass this way.

Ev'ry day poor and needy you will find,
Filled with sorrow and dismay;
Do your best some poor, broken hearts to bind,
Only once you pass this way.

Refrain

Tell the world that the Savior died for all,
Bid them ever watch and pray;
Lift your voice, shout aloud the Gospel call,
Only once you pass this way.

Refrain

Be a brave, earnest soldier in the strife,
Then when comes the close of day,
May the world be the better for your life,
Only once you pass this way.

Refrain
