Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #132 (2004) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing Your mighty hand
by which supported still we stand;
the opening year Your mercy shows;
that mercy crowns its lingering close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
still are we 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 Your guardian care commit,
and peaceful leave before Your feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
You are our joy, You are our rest;
Your goodness all our hopes shall raise,
adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt these songs,
and seal in silence mortal tongues,
our helper God, in whom we trust,
shall keep our souls and guard our dust. Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
