Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H76 (1789) Lyrics: 1 Bless, O Lord, the op'ning year,
To each soul assembled here:
Clothe thy word with pow'r divine,
Make us willing to be thine.
2 Let the minds of all our youth
Feel the force of sacred truth;
While the gospel call they hear,
May they learn to love and fear.
3 Where thou hast thy work begun,
Give new strength the race to run;
Scatter darkness, doubts, and fears,
Wipe away the mourner’s tears.
4 Bless us all both old and young;
Call forth praise from ev'ry tongue:
Let our whole assembly prove
All thy pow'r and all thy love.
