The People Who Understand 1. Time is ending for this world, Wars and terrors, blackest night, Errors higher than the mountains, To obscure the gospel's light; Refrain: But the people who understand God's message, Will act with strength and pow'r; Stand up, up with faith, stand up, up, up! With faith, press always forward, to do the work He gives. 2. Time is ending high in heaven, Grace and mercy soon will cease; God is calling to His people: "All My work must be complete!" (Refrain and repeat last line)
