Christ My Song - 726

With thanks we closed the year - New Year's thanksgiving
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

New Year's thanksgiving.

1. With thanks we closed the year;
  with thanks let us begin
another year of strangership,
  in this dark world of sin; (PDF - Midi)

2. thanks for the love of God;
  which with its steadfast rays
brightened our rough and winding path,
  and cheered our stormiest days;

3. thanks for the hope on high,
  that leads us calmly on,
that lifts our eye above the earth,
  to the Eternal Throne.

Horatius Bonar, "Until the Day break", 1890, 177.
