[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ The _ moon shines bright [G] and the stars give a [C]
light,
[Gm] In a little while it [C] will [Fm] be _ day.
_ _ [C] O Lord, [Gm] O [Bb] God, he calls [Dm] upon us all,
And builds us [Cm] awake [Dm] and _ pray. _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ So dear, so dear, [G] Christ _ _ [Cm] loved us,
[Dm] And for our sins God _ _ slain, _
I'd have you to leave all your wicked, wicked [Fm] ways,
[Gm] And [C] turn to the Lord [Am] _ _
[Dm] again.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ For the life of a man, [G]
it is but [C] a span,
And he _ flourishes _ like [Fm] a _ flower.
_ [C] For he's here [Gm] _
[Bb] today, _ _ tomorrow [D] he's gone,
And dead [F] all [C] in [G] an hour.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
Now the clock _ strikes one, it's time we [C] were gone,
No _ longer [Dm] to _ [F] tarry _ here.
_ [C] God bless [Gm] you all, both great and [Dm] _ [Gm] small,
And [Cm] send you [F] a happy [Cm] [Dm] new year. _ _ _
