Mark, O my soul, the narrow bound
Of each revolving year;
How swift the weeks complete their round!
How short the months appear!
So fast eternity comes on,
And that important day
When all that mortal life hath done
God’s judgment shall survey.
Awake, O God, my careless heart
Its great concerns to see,
That I may act the Christian part
And give the year to thee.
So shall their course more grateful roll,
If future years arise;
Or this shall bear my waiting soul
To joy beyond the skies.
