Composer: | W. Stevenson Hoyte |
1 From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song,
As on the King's own highway we bravely march along.
From glory unto glory! O word of stirring cheer,
As dawns the solemn brightness of another glad New Year!
2 The fullness of His blessing encompasseth our way;
The fullness of His promises crowns every brightening day;
The fullness of His glory is beaming from above,
While more and more we learn to know the fullness of His love.
3 O let our adoration for all that He hath done
Peal out beyond the stars of God, while voice and life are one;
And let our consecration be real and deep and true,
O even now our hearts shall bow and joyful vows renew.
4 Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go,
While grace for grace abundantly shall from His fullness flow,
To glory's full fruition, from glory's foretaste here,
Until His very presence crown our happiest New Year.
Amen.
