OMNIA TEMPUS HABENT is one of the most famous and widely used quotations from the Bible. It is the opening phrase of a passage in Ecclesiastes III and it translates as "For Every Thing There is a Season". It was set to music quite a few times, and the most famous recent setting is not from classical music - it is a 1959 version by the American folk singer/songwriter Pete Seeger covered by dozens of singers and made most famous by The Byrds under the added words "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There is a Season)".
