A hymn for the New Year

To Thee, by whom we live,
Our praise and lives we pay,
Praise, ardent, cordial, constant give,
And shout to see the day:
The day of saving grace,
Thy consecrated year,
When the bright Son of Righteousness,
Doth to our world appear.

Risen, we know, Thou art,

With healing in Thy wings,

We feel, we feel it in our heart

The life Thy presence brings!

The seal and earnest this,

Our pardon we receive,

And look with Thee in glorious bliss,

Eternally to live.
