Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #619 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Sing to the great Jehovah's praise!
All praise to Him belongs;
Who kindly lengthens out our days,
Demands our choicest songs.
2 His providence hath brought us through
Another various year;
We all with vows and anthems new
Before our God appear.
3 Father, Thy mercies past we own,
Thy still continued care;
To Thee presenting, through Thy Son,
Whate'er we have or are.
4 Our lips and lives shall gladly show
The wonders of Thy love,
While on in Jesus' steps we go
To see Thy face above.
5 Our residue of days or hours
Thine, wholly Thine, shall be,
And all our consecrated powers
A sacrifice to Thee:
6 Till Jesus in the clouds appear
To saints on earth forgiven,
And bring the grand sabbatic year
The Jubilee of heaven. Topics: Seasons and Occasions; Year, Close of the ; Year New Year; Jubilee; Providence; New Year, Hymns for ; Mercies of God; Thanksgiving New Year's Languages: English Tune Title: EVANGELIST
