Arise, My Soul, This New Year’s Morning

Arise

my soul

this New Year’s morn­ing

And put away all doubt and fear;

To all who un­to God are turn­ing

He gives His grace from year to year;

He who for­ev­er is the same

Will hear thy pray­ers in Je­sus’ name.

When sun­light on thy path is fall­ing

Do not for­get His love and care

Nor shrink when He on Thee is call­ing

With for­ti­tude thy cross to bear;

In gain or loss

in joy or blame

Give thanks to Him in Je­sus’ name.

Oh

pray

my soul

lest thou should wan­der

Away from God and lose His rest;

Pray that His voice from Heav­en yon­der

May find a hear­ing in thy breast

That thou

se­cure from sin and shame

May lead a life in Je­sus’ name.

Though earth­ly hopes and joys may van­ish

And clouds may oft ob­scure the sun

My trust in Him I will not ban­ish

But pray: O God

Thy will be done!

I will His love and grace pro­claim

And live and die in Je­sus’ name.
