New Year’s Hymn

Join your voic­es

youth re­joic­es

New Year hymns again to sing;

For our new and ma­ny mer­cies

Lord

our heart­felt praise we bring.

Summer flow­ers have bloomed and fad­ed

Summer hours have come and fled;

By Thy care we still are aid­ed

By Thy hand we still are fed.

Lord of glo­ry! we ad­ore Thee

Now be­fore Thee in ano­ther year;

May Thy heav’n­ly love ab­id­ing

Be on ev­ery schol­ar here.

Thou hast kept us

God of glo­ry

Since the last New Year be­gan;

Still pro­claim­ing the sweet sto­ry

Of Thy won­drous love to man.

Shall we long­er keep Him wait­ing

Who for us hath wait­ed long?

He to whom both soul and bo­dy

Heart and life

and all be­long?

From this mo­ment

Ho­ly Je­sus

May our hearts be whol­ly Thine!

Then we’ll sing that best of prais­es

I am His

and He is mine.

Jesus! by Thy blood and Spir­it

May we all Thy child­ren be

Then in Thee we shall in­her­it

Happiness eter­nal­ly.
