Lyics

While with ceaseless course the sun

Hasted through he former year,

Many souls their race have run

Never more to meet us here;

Fixed in an eternal state

They have done with all below;

We a little longer wait,

But how little none can know.



Spared to see another year,

Come, thy precious work revive;

Let thy blessing meet us here,

Bid thy drooping garden thrive:

Sun of Righteousness, arise!

Let our prayer thy pity move,

Warm our hearts and bless our eyes,

Make this year a time of love.
