Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #992 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Publication Date: 1873 Lyrics: 1 The year is gone beyond recall,
With all its hopes and fears,
With all its bright and gladdening smiles,
With all its mourners’ tears.
2 To thee we come, O gracious Lord!
The new-born year to bless;
Defend our land from pestilence;
Give peace and plenteousness.
3 From evil deeds that stain the past,
We now desire to flee;
And pray that future years may all
Be spent, good Lord, for thee.
4 O Father! let thy watchful eye
Still look on us in love,
That we may praise thee year by year,
As angels do above.
5 All glory to the Father be;
All glory to the Son;
All glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
While endless ages run. Topics: The New Year The Old Year Languages: English
