See, brethren, see how the day rolls on

See, brethren, see how the day rolls on,Quickly will the Saviour come;Hark! hear the sound, "he will appear,"Sweetly falls upon the ear.

Then haste, let us work till the daylight is o'er,Our hearts fill'd with love as we row to the shore;Our earthly labor being done,How sweet the Christian's welcome home!Home, home, home, the Christian's welcome home;Sweet, O sweet the Christian's welcome home,Welcome home, welcome home,Welcome home.

Lift up your heads, and rejoice in God;Shout his praises all abroad;Soon shall we hear the voice, "'T is done;Child, your Father calls; come home."

Come, sinners, come, let us all awake!And the Spirit's truths partake;Soon will appear, and O how bright!Prayer to praise and faith to sight.

Hail, brethren, hail! it's the new-born year;Michael's trump we soon shall hear,Then will the saints and angels sing,"Glory be to heaven's King."
