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!"
