CROWN the year with Thy goodness, Lord! And make every hour a gem In the living diadem, That sparkles to Thy praise. Crown the year with Thy grace, O Lord! Be Thy fresh anointings shed On Thy waiting servant's head, Who treads Thy royal ways. Crown the year with Thy glory, Lord! Let the brightness and the glow Of its heavenly overflow Crown Thy beloved's days! STRONG and loving is thy Friend! Trust Him for the untried year! He shall lead thee to the end, Ever gracious, ever near. As the everlasting hills Thou shalt find His faithfulness; As the crystal mountain-rills. |
