Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6355 Meter: 6.5.6.5 with refrain Refrain First Line: Onward, then, and fear not Lyrics: 1. Standing at the portal
Of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing every fear;
Spoken thru the silence
By our Savior’s voice,
Tender, strong and faithful,
Making us rejoice.
Refrain
Onward, then, and fear not,
Children of the day;
For His Word shall never,
Never pass away.
2. I, the Lord, am with thee,
Be thou not afraid;
I will help and strengthen
Be thou not dismayed.
Yea, I will uphold thee
With My own right hand;
Thou art called and chosen
In My sight to stand. [Refrain]
3. For the year before us,
O what rich supplies!
For the poor and needy
Living streams shall rise;
For the sad and sinful
Shall His grace abound;
For the faint and feeble
Perfect strength be found. [Refrain]
4. He will never fail us,
He will not forsake;
His eternal covenant
He will never break.
Resting on the promise,
What have we to fear?
God is all sufficient
For the coming year. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALBAN (Haydn)
