His Fullness Songs ‎#512

512. Standing at the Portal

1 Standing at the portal
Of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing every fear;
Spoken through the silence
By our Father's voice,
Tender, strong and faithful,
Making us rejoice.

Refrain:
Onward then, and fear not,
Children of the day;
For His Word shall never,
Never pass away.

2 I, the Lord, am with thee,
Be thou not afraid,
I will help and strengthen,
Be thou not dismayed!
Yes, I will uphold thee
with My own right hand,
Thou art called and chosen
In My sight to stand. [Refrain]

3 For the year before us,
O what rich supplies!
For the poor and needy
Living streams shall rise;
For the sad and sinful
Shall His grace abound;
For the faint and feeble
Perfect strength be found. [Refrain]
