For this New Year, I pray
Lord bring,
New hope, new friends, new kindness, a New well-spring
Of joy, of compassion and of abundant
New life.
Please put a hold on the seemingly
Endless strife.

As you bring the dawn to each
Morn anew,
Remind me this precious gift comes only
From You.
And when the stars appear in the eve,
Glittering bright,
Bring to mind that they also gleam in the
Darkest night.

Seasons roll by at a steady speed, unfolding to
Moments unknown.
Help me stay ever mindful, that You are always on
The throne.
When it comes to the end of this year and
These days,
Whatever may come, may I always
Give praise.
