623. Come, let us anew our journey pursue

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 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."

5 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."
