Lyics

Come, let us anew

Our journey pursue,

Roll round with the year,

And never stand still till the Master appear:

His adorable will

Let us gladly fulfill,

And our talents improve,

By the patience of hope, and the labour of love,

By the patience of hope, and the labour of love.



Our life is a dream;

Our time is a stream,

Glides swiftly away,

And the fugitive moment refuses to stay:

The arrow is flown,

The moment is gone,

The millenial year

Rushes on to our view, and eternity's here,

Rushes on to our view, and eternity's here.



Oh that each, in the day

Of his coming, may say,

"I have fought my way through;

I have finish'd the work which thou gav'st me to do."

Oh that each from his Lord

May receive the glad word,

"Well and faithfully done,

Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne,

Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne."
