You hold this new year in Your hands- in trust, a gift to me;
Hands large enough to pour out blessings more numerous than I can see.
Trials and hurts will come, I’m sure...
but wait! I’m getting ahead of myself...
I dare not speculate or ruminate-
You ask me simply to trust,
to raise my head and eyes and hands and heart and walk...
not gingerly, in fear and doubt
but boldly, with faith and hope in You;
bravely, as You guide me, lead me, carry me through each day;
quietly, as You fight...
Lead me, kindly light!
Let love’s radiance envelop, enflame, restore;
Let sorrows flee and sickness be no more.
Oh come, sweet love, with heaven’s help and hide me in your heart;
Come wisdom, strength, come hold my hand-
on through this new year’s start.
