1 COME, let us anew
Our journey pursue,
Roll round with the year,
And never stand still till the Master appear.
2 His adorable will
Let us gladly fulfil,
And our talents improve,
By the patience of hope, and the labour of love.
3 Our life is a dream;
Our time as a stream
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
4 The arrow is flown,
The moment is gone;
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity's here.
5 O that each in the day
Of his coming may say,
"I have fought my way through,
I have finished the work thou didst give me to do!"
6 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."
