“The moon shines bright and the stars give a light, In a little while it will be day. Our Lord, our God, He calls upon us all And bids us awake and pray.
So dear, so dear Christ loved us And for our sins got slain. I'd have you to leave all your wicked, wicked ways And turn to the Lord again.
For the life of a man it is but a span And he flourishes like a flower For he's here today, tomorrow he is gone And dead all in an hour.
Now the clock strikes one, it's time we were gone, No longer to tarry here. God bless you all, both great and small And send you a happy New Year.”
There are many versions of the words. Some versions have up to 8 verses!
