LyicsCOME, 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 labor of love.
Our life is a dream;
Our time, as 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 near.
O that each, in the day
Of His coming, may say,
"I have fought my way through;
I have finish'd the work Thou didst give me to do!"
O that each from his Lord
May receive the glad word,
"Well and faithfully done;
Enter into my joy and sit down on my throne!"
