LyicsCome let us a-new
Our jour-ney pur-sue-
Roll round with the year,
And nev-er stand still till the Mas-ter ap-pear;
His a-dor-a-ble will
Let us glad-ly ful-fill,
And our tal-ents im-prove
By the pa-tience of hope, and the la-bor of love;
By the pa-tience of hope, and the la-bor of love.
Our life is a dream;
Our time, as a stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay:
The arrow is flown;
The moment is gone;
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity's near.
Oh that each, in the day
Of his coming, may say,
"I have fought my way through;
I have finished the work thou didst give me to do;"
Oh that each from his Lord
May receive the glad word,
"Well and faithfully done;
Enter in to my joy and sit down on my throne."
