lyricist: Frances Havergal, 1872

Jesus

bless­èd Sav­ior

help us now to raise

Songs of glad thanks­giv­ing

songs of ho­ly praise.

Oh

how kind and gra­cious Thou hast al­ways been!

Oh

how ma­ny bless­ings ev­ery day has seen!

Jesus

bless­èd Sav­ior

now our prais­es hear

For Thy grace and fa­vor crown­ing all the year.

Jesus

ho­ly Sav­ior

on­ly Thou canst tell

How we oft­en stum­bled

how we oft­en fell!

All our sins (so ma­ny!) Sav­ior

Thou dost know:

In Thy blood most pre­cious

wash us white as snow.

Jesus

bless­èd Sav­ior

keep us in Thy fear

Let Thy grace and fa­vor par­don all the year.

Jesus

lov­ing Sav­ior

on­ly Thou dost know

All that may be­fall us as we on­ward go;

So we hum­bly pray Thee

take us by the hand

Lead us ev­er up­ward to the bet­ter land.

Jesus

bless­èd Sav­ior

keep us ev­er near

Let Thy grace and fa­vor shield us all the year.

Jesus

pre­cious Sav­ior

make us all Thine own

Make us Thine for­ev­er

make us Thine alone.

Let each day

each mo­ment of this glad new year

Be for Je­sus on­ly

Je­sus

Sav­ior dear.

Then

O bless­èd Sav­ior

nev­er need we fear:

For Thy grace and fa­vor crown our bright New Year.
