GREAT GOD we sing Thy mighty hand,

By which supported still we stand;

The opening year Thy mercy shows;

That mercy crowns it till it close.

(That mercy crowns it till it close.)

By day, by night, at home, abroad -

Still are we guarded by our God;

By His incessant bounty fed,

By His unerring counsel led.

(By His unerring counsel led.)

With grateful hearts the past we own ;

The future, all to us unknown,

We to Thy guardian care commit,

And peaceful leave before Thy feet.

(And peaceful leave before Thy feet.)

In scenes exalted or depress'd,

Thou art our joy, and Thou our rest;

THY GOODNESS ALL OUR HOPES SHALL RAISE,

ADORED THROUGH ALL OUR CHANGING DAYS.

(ADORED THROUGH ALL OUR CHANGING DAYS.)
