Original text and translations
English text
- Come 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 fulfil;
- And our talents improve
- By the patience of hope,
- And the labour 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 millennial year
- Rushes on to our view,
- And eternity's here.
- 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!"
