Lyics

And 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 heav'n;

Seek pardon for thy former sins,

In Christ so freely giv'n.



Devoutly yield thyself to God,

And on his grace depend;

With zeal pursue the heavn'ly road.

Nor doubt a happy end.
