LyicsAND now, my soul, another year
Of thy short life is past;
I can not long continue here,
And this may be my last.
Much of my hasty life is gone,
Nor will return again;
And swift my passing moments run
The few that yet remain.
Awake, my soul; with utmost care
Thy true condition learn:
What are thy hopes? how sure? how fair?
What is thy great concern?
Behold, another year begins:
Set out afresh for heaven;
Seek pardon for thy former sins,
In Christ so freely given;
Devoutly yield thyself to God,
And on his grace depend;
With zeal pursue the heavenly road,
Nor doubt a happy end.
