O God, whom nei­ther time nor space
Can lim­it, hold, or bind,
Look down from Heav’n, Thy dwell­ing-place,
With love for hu­man­kind.

Another year its course has run;
Thy lov­ing care re­new:
Forgive the ill that we have done,
The good we failed to do.

In doubt or dan­ger, all our days,
Be near to guard us still;
Let all our thoughts and all our ways
Be gov­erned by Thy will.

O help us here on earth to live
From self­ish pass­ions free;
To us at last in mer­cy give
Eternal life with Thee.
