Join your voic­es, youth re­joic­es,
New Year hymns again to sing;
For our new and ma­ny mer­cies,
Lord, our heart­felt praise we bring.
Summer flow­ers have bloomed and fad­ed,
Summer hours have come and fled;
By Thy care we still are aid­ed,
By Thy hand we still are fed.

Refrain

Lord of glo­ry! we ad­ore Thee
Now be­fore Thee in ano­ther year;
May Thy heav’n­ly love abid­ing,
Be on ev­ery scho­lar here.

Thou hast kept us, God of glo­ry,
Since the last New Year be­gan;
Still pro­claim­ing the sweet sto­ry,
Of Thy won­drous love to man.
Shall we long­er keep Him wait­ing,
Who for us hath wait­ed long?
He to whom both soul and bo­dy,
Heart and life, and all be­long?

Refrain

From this mo­ment, Ho­ly Je­sus,
May our hearts be whol­ly Thine!
Then we’ll sing that best of prais­es,
I am His, and He is mine.
Jesus! by Thy blood and Spir­it,
May we all Thy child­ren be,
Then in Thee we shall in­her­it
Happiness eter­nal­ly.
