New-year’s Hymn

SAVIOUR, let thy light appear, On our pathway gleaming, Through the portals of the year, ’Mid our darkness streaming. Day by day, Lord, we pray, Keep us, lest our footsteps stray Where false lights are beaming.
Clouds and sunbeams, smiles and tears, Lie before us blended; Hopes of youth, old age’s fears, Visions sad or splendid. Day by day, Still we pray, Lord, be thou our strength and stay Till our course is ended.
Cleansed and pardoned may we live, Let not fears appal us; Strength to do our duty give Whatsoe’er befall us. Day by day, This we pray, Lead us Father, in thy way, Till at last thou call us!
Thus sustained by thee alone, Happy in thy guiding, Bravely may we follow on, In thy love confiding. Day by day, All the way, Be thy cross our hope and stay, Safe in thee abiding.
