1 Come let us anew
Our journey pursue,
Roll round with the year (x2)
And never stand still (x2)
Till the Master appear.
2 His adorable will
Let us gladly fulfil;
And our talents improve (x2)
By the patience of hope,(x2)
And the labour of love.
3 Our life is a dream;
Our time, as a stream,
Glides swiftly away; (x2)
And the fugitive moment (x2)
Refuses to stay.
4 The arrow is flown,
The moment is gone, -
The millennial year (x2)
Rushes on to our view, (x2)
And eternity's here.
5 O that each in the day
Of his coming may say, -
I have fought my way through, (x2)
I have finished the work (x2)
Thou didst give me to do!
