A New-Year's Hymn

By Thomas H. Gill

BREAK, new-born year, on glad eyes break! Melodious voices move! On, rolling Time! thou canst not make The Father cease to love.
The parted year had wingèd feet; The Saviour still doth stay: The new year comes; but, Spirit sweet, Thou goest not away.
Our hearts in tears may oft run o'er, But, Lord, thy smile still beams; Our sins are swelling evermore, But pardoning grace still streams.
Lord, from this year more service win, More glory, more delight! O make its hours less sad with sin, Its days with thee more bright!
— Thomas H. Gill.
