342. The New Church Year Again Is Come

1 The new Church Year again is come
And wakes the joy of Christendom;
Thy King, O Zion, comes to thee,
Rejoice, rejoice eternally!
Hallelujah!

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!
Hallelujah!

3 Thy truth repeated o'er and o'er,
Our faith will strengthen more and more;
Let it abide in us, that we
May render endless praise to Thee.
Hallelujah!
