New Year. Ps. 31. 15
J. Newton L.M.
1
Upheld by thy supporting hand,
We pass, O Lord, from year to year;
And still we meet, at thy command,
To seek thy gracious presence here.
2
Oft feed us, Lord, beneath this vine,
Through the new year with heavenly bread;
Oft clothe thy word with power divine,
To break the rocks and raise the dead.
3
Oft by a Saviour’s dying love,
To many a wounded heart revealed,
Temptations, fears, and guilt remove,
And be our Sun, and Strength, and Shield.
