Lord, our Fa­ther, thanks to Thee
In this new year we ren­der,
For ev­ery ev­il had to flee
Before Thee, our de­fend­er.
Our life was nour­ished, we were fed
With rich sup­plies of dai­ly bread,
And peace reigned in our bor­ders.

Lord Je­sus Christ, our thanks to Thee
In this new year we ren­der;
Thy reign hath kept Thy peo­ple free,
Hath shown Thy mer­cies ten­der.
Thou hast re­deemed us with Thy blood,
Thou art our joy, our on­ly good,
In life and death our Sav­ior.

Lord Ho­ly Ghost, our thanks to Thee
In this new year we ren­der,
For Thou hast led our eyes to see
Thy truth in all its splen­dor
And thus en­kin­dled from above
Within our hearts true faith and love
And other Chris­tian vir­tues.

Our faith­ful God, we cry to Thee:
Still bless us with Thy fa­vor,
Blot out all our ini­qui­ty,
And hide our sins for­ev­er.
Grant us a hap­py, good new year
And, when the hour of death draws near,
A peace­ful, blest de­par­ture.
