Author: Henry Downton Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace,
Faithful through another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness;
Father and Redeemer, hear.
2 In our weakness and distress,
Rock of strength! be Thou our Stay;
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and living Way.
3 Who of us death's awful road
In the coming year shall tread?
With Thy rod and staff, O God,
Comfort Thou his dying head.
4 Keep us faithful; keep us pure:
Keep us evermore Thine own:
Help, O help us to endure:
Fit us for the promised crown.
5 So within Thy palace gate
We shall praise, on golden strings,
Thee, the only Potentate,
Lord of lords, and King of kings. Topics: New Year; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day Used With Tune: ROSEFIELD
For Thy mercy and Thy grace
