Hear our song of thankfulness;

Rock of strength! be Thou our Stay;
In the pathless wilderness,
Be our true and living Way.

In the coming year shall tread--
With Thy rod and staff, O God,
Comfort Thou his dying bed.

Keep us evermore Thine own;
Help Thy servants to endure;
Fit us for the promised crown.

We shall praise, on golden strings,
