On the Close of the Old and Beginning of the
New-Year.
« *m yrYhaev’nly Mufi* awake, lift up thige eyes!
JVI And dee P * n bought, set all thy pow’rs arise !
Come, sing the close of time* with solemn found,
When months, when years no more will move around,
And all tho Sons of ; Adam’s race must die,
And meet avast, a long eternity.
Important hour! O great tremendous day !
When yonder vast expanse will melt away;
The roliug Sun in darkness .hides his rays,
Or flee before the Godhead’s awful blaze ;*
While flaming fire is through the empyrean hurl’d,
And, spreading round, consumes the fpaciaus world.
And thou my foul, must meet' th’eternal God,
Enjof his smiles or fink beneath his rod ;
Nor raise thy voice with joy, as thou didst here,
To sing the roll of time, a NEW-BORN YEAR.
The seasons now no more will move around,
Or man enjoy the fruits of earthly ground;
Nor winter’s blast, nor heat offummer’s day,
Will e’er alternate his command obey,
But all are chang’d for an eternal scene,
And roll along withput a CHANGE between.
Come then, my foul, arise ! and bless thy God,
Who fpar’d thy life so- lung, withheld his rod,
And open’d his exhauftlefs fountains wide ,
While their rich streams have roll’d on cither fide.
Adore him for the blefliiigs of the past,
And spend THIS YEAR as if it war, thy last.
Draw in the breath be gives, and eyp his ways,
Then breathe it back in gratitude and praise.
As steady as the hours and moments fly,
Be thou concern’d to live, learn and to die ;
That the approach of next may fire thy fong,'
And furnilh matter to employ thy tongue. 1 *
