HYMN 225

C.M.S 97 t.H.C 43 D. 7s. (FE 224)



1.  ANOTHER year has rolled by

    The time flies so quickly by, 

    This year which is to pass by 

    May be the last year for some 

    It's Thy mercy kept us through 

    Have we been benefited?

    We should ask, are we prepared 

    If we are called home this year?


2.  This world is a battle ground 

     Thousands are falling down dead 

     The arrows of death that fly 

     Can be sent to me, to you

     When the word is preached, we hear 

     Help our hearts to meditate 

     Eternity's close at hand

     We are standing on the brink.


3.  If we are saved from our sins

     By the grace of God divine

     We shall hear Him say, “Come home" 

    May we see His face in heav’n;

    For Thy people here on earth

    Grant us mercy this new year

    The year that‘s more full of joy 

    Is the one that sees them home.  Amen
