Bless, O Lord, The Opening Year

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bless, O Lord, the opening year, To each soul assembled here: Clothe Thy Word with power divine, Make us willing to be Thine. 2 Shepherd of Thy blood-bought sheep! Teach the stony heart to weep; Let the blind have eyes to see, See themselves, and look on Thee! 3 Let the minds of all our youth Feel the force of sacred truth; While the Gospel call they hear, May they learn to love and fear. 4 Show them what their ways have been, Show the desert of their sin; Then Thy dying love reveal, This shall melt a heart of steel. 5 Where Thou hast Thy work begun, Give new strength the race to run; Scatter darkness, doubts and fears, Wipe away the mourners’ tears. 6 Bless us all both old and young; Call forth praise from every tongue: Let the whole assembly prove All Thy power, and all Thy love. Used With Tune: SHERBORNE Text Sources: The Psalms of David (New York: Hodge, Allen & Campbell, printers, 1789)
