A Hymn for the New Year

By Frances Ridley Havergal

FROM glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song, As on the King's own highway we bravely march along! From glory unto glory! O word of stirring cheer, As dawns the solemn brightness of another glad new year! From glory unto glory! What great things He hath done! What wonders He hath shown us! what triumphs He hath won! From glory unto glory! What mighty blessings crown The lives for which our Lord hath laid His own so freely down! The fulness of His blessing encompasseth our way; The fulness of His promises crowns every brightening day; The fulness of His glory is beaming from above, While more and more we learn to know the fulness of His love. And closer yet and closer the golden bonds shall be, Uniting all who love our Lord in pure sincerity; And wider yet and wider shall the circling glory glow, As more and more are taught of God that mighty love to know. Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go, While grace for grace abundantly shall from His fulness flow, To glory's full fruition, from glory's foretaste here, Until His very presence crown our happiest new year.
