548 Let Us Anew. P.M.
_New Year._
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 labor 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 millenial year Rushes on to our view, and eternity's near.
3 Oh, 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;"
Oh, that each from his Lord May receive the glad word, "Well and faithfully done; Enter into my joy and sit down on my throne"
Charles Wesley. 1752.
