Author: J. Olearius, 1611-84 ; E. Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #93 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.4 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 The new church year again is come
And wakes the joy of Christendom;
Thy King, O Zion, comes to thee,
Rejoice, rejoice eternally.
Have mercy, O Lord!
2 Now in our midst anew are heard
The lessons of God's holy Word
that lead the way to life and heav'n;
Lord, praise to Thee for this be giv'n.
Have mercy, O Lord!
3 Thy truth repeated o'er and o'er
Our faith will strengthen more and more;
Let it abide in us, that we
May join in endless praise to Thee.
Have mercy, O Lord!
