GRH 602 Another Year Is Gone

(1)
Another year is gone,
Nor ever shall return,
Swift change of seasons bids me wake,
New aims and duties learn.

(2)
Another year is gone,
And all its mem’ries fade,
Its cares and dangers, sorrows too,
Are on His mercy laid.

(3)
Another year is gone,
Life’s end must come at last,
Our days are measured by His will,
Will soon my life be past?

(4)
Another year is gone,
Dear Lord, my sins forgive,
I view the fleeting days with awe,
And ponder how to live.

(5)
Another year is gone,
I pray for strength a new,
To live according to Thy will,
Eternity in view.
