Words

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 improveBy the patience of hope, and the labor of love.

Our life as 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 yearRushes 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."

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."

Come, let us a - new our journey pur - sue, Roll round with the year, And never stand / still till the Mas - ter ap - pear; And never stand still till the Mas - ter appear.» — the music sings the third verse line twice and the print gives it twice under the staves (first ending «ap - pear;», then «appear.»); stanza 1 below is the poem, three lines, as stanzas 2–6 are printed (its last line is given with the closing «appear.» of the repeat; see `lyrics_syllables.txt` for the line exactly as printed). «journey», «never» and the second «appear.» are set unbroken under two notes.
