1 With this new year we raise new songs,
To praise the Lord with hearts and tongues,
For His support in troubles past,
Wherewith our life was overcast.
2 O! grant us, Jesu, Prince of Peace,
Thy constant aid, Thy constant grace,
That we may, thro’ the rolling year,
Serve Thee with filial love and fear.
3 O! may we never lose Thy truth—
The prop of age, the guard of youth—
Keep from us superstitious fears,
Banish false doctrine from our ears.
4 Guard us, oh! guard us from all sin:
And let us be renewed within:
Of errors past the records rend,
O! Thou, whose mercy knows no end.
5 Grant us to lead a holy life.
And when we leave this world of strife,
O! bring us to that joyful day,
When Thou wilt wipe all tears away.
6 Then shall Thy praise anew begin,
Without th’allay of self and sin.
Maintain, O Lord, our faith and love,
Till we behold Thy face above.
