Hymnal: Christian Hymns #17 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The op'ning year Thy mercy shows--
Let mercy crowns it to its close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God;
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt our songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues,
Our helper, God, in whom we trust,
In better worlds our soul shall boast. Topics: TheChurch Year New Year; Gpd the Father, the Creator; God the Father Governemnt of Languages: English Tune Title: WHEN IN THE HOUR OF UTMOST NEED
