Author: Arthur H. Mann Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #346 (1929) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.5 D Hymnal Title: The New Christian Hymnal First Line: Standing at the portal Refrain First Line: Onward, then, and fear not Lyrics: 1. Standing at the portal
Of the op'ning year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing ev'ry fear;
Spoken thro' 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.
Yea, I will uphold thee
With My own right hand;
Thou art called and chosen
In My sight to stand." [Refrain]
