Closing Year 38
Lyrics: Old Baptist Hymnal, #541
Tune: Neely Bruce
Meter: C.M.D. (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high;
Awake and praise that sovereign love
That shows salvation nigh.
On all the wings of time it flies;
Each moment brings it near;
Then welcome each declining day,
Welcome each closing year.
Not many years their rounds shall run,
Nor many mornings rise;
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes.
Ye wheels of nature, speed your course,
Ye mortal powers decay;
Fast as ye bring the night of death,
Ye bring eternal day.
