The New Year.

SUNLIGHT of the heavenly day, Mighty to revive and cheer, Bless our yet untrodden way, Lead us through the entered year : Where the shades of death we see, Let thy living brightness be; Let it speed our lingering feet, Let it shine on all we meet.
Lord of all, we cannot know What our paths may yet unfold; But the part that love would show, Wise to save us, thou hast told. By our souls' unmeasured price, By thy life-long sacrifice, By thy death to set us free, Lead us on to joy in thee— On to greet the perfect day, Blessed end of toil and strife— On through all the narrow way, Brightness of our human life.
