JESUS, blessèd Saviour, Help us now to raise Songs of glad thanksgiving, Songs of holy praise. O how kind and gracious Thou hast always been! O how many blessings Every day has seen! Jesus, blessèd Saviour, Now our praises hear, For Thy grace and favor Crowning all the year. Jesus, holy Saviour, Only Thou canst tell How we often stumbled, How we often fell! All our sins (so many!) Saviour, Thou dost know; In Thy blood most precious, Wash us white as snow. Jesus, blessèd Saviour, Keep us in Thy fear, Let Thy grace and favor Pardon all the year. Jesus, loving Saviour, Only Thou dost know All that may befall us As we onward go. So we humbly pray Thee, Take us by the hand, Lead us ever upward To the Better Land. Jesus, blessèd Saviour, Keep us ever near, Let Thy grace and favor Shield us all the year. Jesus, precious Saviour, Make us all Thine own, Make us Thine forever, Make us Thine alone. Let each day, each moment, Of this glad New-year, Be for Jesus only, Jesus, Saviour dear. Then, O blessèd Saviour, Never need we fear, For Thy grace and favor Crown our bright New-year! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BATTLE OF NASEBY by THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT; AN ODE ATTEMPTED IN ENGLISH SAPPHIC by ISAAC WATTS ROMEO AND JULIET by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE KNIGHTS: THE POET AND HIS RIVALS by ARISTOPHANES ON MISS HELEN FAUCIT'S JULIET by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN |
