New Year's Day

Verse 1

Now, gracious Lord, thine arm reveal, And make thy glory known; Now let us all thy presence feel, And soften hearts of stone!

Verse 2

Help us to venture near thy throne, And plead a Savior's name; For all that we can call our own, Is vanity and shame.

Verse 3

From all the guilt of former sin May mercy set us free; And let the year we now begin, Begin and end with thee.

Verse 4

Send down thy spirit from above, That saints may love thee more; And sinners now may learn to love Who never loved before.

Verse 5

And when before thee we appear In our eternal home; May growing numbers worship here, And praise thee in our room.
