By A Collection of Hymns

      5 5 5, 11.
      1 COME, let us anew
      Our journey pursue,
      Roll round with the year,
      And never stand still till the Master appear.

      2 His adorable will
      Let us gladly fulfil,
      And our talents improve,
      By the patience of hope, and the labour of love.

      3 Our life is a dream;
      Our time as a stream
      Glides swiftly away,
      And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.

      4 The arrow is flown,
      The moment is gone;
      The millennial year
      Rushes on to our view, and eternity's here.

      5 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!"

      6 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."
