Salvation Approaching

Philip Doddridge • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12

Verse 1

Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes, And raise your voices high; Away, and praise that sov'reign love, That shows salvation nigh.

Verse 2

On all the wings of time it flies, Each moment brings it near; Then welcome each declining day, Welcome each closing year.

Verse 3

Ye wheels of nature, speed your course! Ye mortal powers, decay! Fast as ye bring the night of death, Ye bring eternal day.

Verse 4

O Father, here our hearts we raise To Thee in heav'n above; And at the year's swift close, we praise Thy providence, and love. Amen.
