The Moon Shines Bright lyrics

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's 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
