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 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 heav'nly road,
Nor doubt a happy end.
