1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The opening year thy mercy shows,
Let mercy crown it till it close.

2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still are we guarded by our God,
By his incessant bounty fed,
By his unerring counsel led. A-men.

3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to thy guardian care commit,
And, peaceful, leave before thy feet.

4 In scenes exalted or depressed
Thou art our joy, and thou our Rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.

Amen.
