Hymn 186
Almighty God grant that Thy praise
Meter: P.M.
Scripture: Gen 1:14
1
Almighty God grant that Thy praise
All our voices employ
Thy hand has made the days go by
Another year has come
2
Our sacrifice rise up to thee
Father of all goodness
For thy mercy from year to year
That flows from thy bosom
3
In all the changing scenes of life
May thy mercy endure?
As much as thy goodness to us
So let our praises be
4
In all the changing scenes of life
We feel thy anxious care
Let that same mercy Lord we plead
Bless the New Year begun
5
And if Thou have joy,
Draw us closer to Thee;
And if suffering, then we shall sing
As long as Thou bless us
