Soliloquy on the Eve of New Year's Day

When With A Mind Devoutly Pressed

A few more days on earth to spend


A few more days on earth to spend,
And all my toils and cares shall end,
And I shall see my God and friend,
And praise his name on high:
No more to sigh nor shed a tear,
No more to suffer pain or fear;
But God, and Christ, and heaven appear,
Unto the raptured eye.
