New Year Hymn

Jesus, blessed Saviour,
Help us now to raise
Songs of glad thanksgiving,
Songs of holy praise.
O how kind and gracious
Thou hast always been !
O how many blessings
Every day has seen !
Jesus, blessed Saviour,
Now our praises hear,
For Thy grace and favour
Crowning all the year.

Jesus, holy Saviour,
Only Thou canst tell
How we often stumbled,
How we often fell !
All our sins (so many !),
Saviour, Thou dost know ;
In Thy blood most precious,
Wash us white as snow.
Jesus, blessed Saviour,
Keep us in Thy fear,
Let Thy grace and favour
Pardon all the year.

Jesus, loving Saviour,
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, blessed Saviour,
Keep us ever near,
Let Thy grace and favour
Shield us all the year.

Jesus, precious Saviour,
Make us all Thine own,
Make us Thine for ever,
Make us Thine alone.
Let each day, each moment,
Of this glad New-year,
Be for Jesus only,
Jesus, Saviour dear.
Then, O blessed Saviour,
Never need we fear,
For Thy grace and favour
Crown our bright New-year !
