Time and Chance

Get wisdom: the principal thing And with all your getting Get understanding To discern time and procedure That the race is not to the swift Nor the battle to the strong Neither bread to the wise Nor riches to men of understanding Neither favor to men of skill But time and chance happens to you Who make the most of every moment Time is of the essence Whatever your hand finds to do Do it with might Because dreams come true Through the multitude of business So the time is always now to be diligent Achieve greatness and always be ready For there’s an appropriate moment For every purpose To everything there is a season And your opportunity will come in time Scripture Compilation
