Hymns for God’s Peculiar People 50
Come Let Us Anew
Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]
1Come let us anew, our journey pursue,
Roll round with the year;
And never stand still, till the Master appear
And never stand still, till the Master appear.
2His adoreable will let us gladly fulfill,
And our talents improve,
By the patience of hope and the labor of love.
3Our life as a dream, our time as a stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
4The arrow is flown, the moment is gone;
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity's here.
50 that each in the day of his coming may say,
"I have fought my way through;
I have finish'd the work thou didst give me to do."
60 that each from his Lord may receive the glad word
"Well and faithfully done!
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne."
