Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #551 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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 we are guarded by our God;
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
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,
Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
Amen. Topics: God Mercies of; New Year Languages: English Tune Title: PILESGROVE
