- 1Come, let us anewOur journey pursue–Roll round with the year,And never stand still till the Master appear;His adorable willLet us gladly fulfill,And our talents improveBy the patience of hope, and the labor of love,By the patience of hope, and the labor of love.
- 2Our 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 millennial yearRushes on to our view, and eternity’s near,Rushes on to our view, and eternity’s near.
- 3O that each, in the dayOf His coming, may say,“I have fought my way thru,I have finished the workThou didst give me to do!”O that each from his LordMay receive the glad word,“Well and faithfully done;Enter in to my joy, and sit down on my throne,Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne.”
