{{LinkText|Come, let us anew our journey pursue}}
: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!"}}
