Hymnal: Voices of Praise #292 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Now a new year opens,
Now we newly turn
To the Holy Saviour,
Lessons fresh to learn.
2 This is the holy lesson
On the year's first day,
Jesus by obedience
Teaches to obey.
3 Of Thy Cross thus early
Tokens Thou dost give;
By Thy wounds Thou healest,
By Thy death we live.
4 Not to suffer only,
Jesus, didst Thou come,
But to leave us way-marks
Pointing to our Home.
5 In Thy blessed footsteps
Ever may we tread,
Safe when keeping near Thee,
By Thy Spirit led.
Amen. Topics: New Year's Day Languages: English Tune Title: UPTON PYNE
