Come, Let Us Anew Our Journey Pursue

 

Come, Let Us Anew Our Journey Pursue

1.  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 fulfill,
   And our talents improve
   By the patience of hope, and the labour of love.
2.  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;
3.  O that each in the day
   Of his coming might say,
   "I have fought my way through,
   I have finished the work thou didst give me to do!"
   O that each from his Lord
   May receive the glad word,
   "Well and faithfully done,
   Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne!"
