For grace another year, we thank Thee,
Lord, Thy name be praised;
No greater theme than this e’er could be
By Thy people raised!
Thy mercies have been multiplied
To us from day to day;
Our every need Thou hast supplied
Along our pilgrim way.
We’ll trust Thee for the coming year
With mercy it to fill;
Thou hast revealed Thyself as near,
That Thou dost love us still;
Thine, Thou wilt us ne’er forsake,
Our cause refuse to own;
Glory with Thee doth us await;
This grace to us Thou’st shown.
In simple faith, we will abide
While here us Thou dost leave;
Though sinners Thy blest name deride,
Our hearts to Thee will cleave;
To come, Thou canst not long delay,
Us home Thou soon must call;
Naught then our spirits will dismay
Whatever us befall.
May be sung to the tune of “Auld lang syne.”
