Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16089 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Another year has now begun Lyrics: 1 Another year has now begun
With silent pace its course to run;
Let us our hearts and voices raise
To God in songs of prayer and praise.
2 Accept our penitential tears,
O Lord, for sins of bygone years;
And with the blood of Jesu spilt
O wash away Thy servants’ guilt.
3 Father, Thy bounteous love we bless,
For gifts and mercies numberless;
For life and health, for grace and peace,
And hope of joys that never cease.
4 Our days and years decay and die,
Mementos of mortality;
Make us to see our own brief hours
In falling leaves, and fading flowers.
5 O Son of God, Thou Savior dear,
Teach us to walk as strangers here,
With hearts in Heav’n, that we may come
To where Thou art, our Father’s home.
6 Make us to feel that Thou art nigh,
We ever in our master’s eye,
Mindful of that account to live,
Which we to Thee, our judge, must give.
7 Thou, Christ, who makest all things new,
O give us hearts both pure and true,
That each may shine, a precious gem,
Lord, in Thy New Jerusalem.
8 Grant us, O Comforter, Thy grace,
And speed us on our earthly race,
In body, spirit, and in soul,
Right onward to the heav’nly goal.
9 Blest Three in One, to Thee we pray,
Defend, and guide us on our way;
That we at last with joy may see
The New Year of eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: IOSCO
