��JOHASN RiST (1007-1007).

Tr. Catheiune Wixkworth (1S29-1S78).

HELP US, Lord ! behold we enter Upon another year to-day ; In thee our hopes and thoughts now centre,

Renew our courage for the way : New life, new strength, new happiness, We ask of thee : oh hear, and bless !

��God, be with us and direct us ;

God, our plans and hopes inspire ; God, from thoughts of sin protect us

God, be all our heart's desire ; God, be in our thoughts each day Nor suffer us to fall away !

��And grant us, when the year is over, Its latest hour in peace may close ;

In all things care for us, and cover Our head in time of fear and woes !

So may we, when our years are gone,

Appear with joy before thy throne !
