Evangelical Lutheran hymnal ‎#15

15. The new Church Year again is come

1 The new Church Year again is come,
This wakes the joy of Christendom;
Thy King, O Zion, comes to thee,
Rejoice, rejoice eternally!
Hallelujah!

2 Now in our midst anew are heard
The lessons of God's gracious Word,
That lead the way to life and heaven;
Lord, praise to Thee for this be given!
Hallelujah!

3 What Thy truth teaches o'er and o'er,
By which our faith is strengthened more,
Let that abide in us, that we
May render endless praise to Thee.
Hallelujah!
