Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #997 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Now, gracious Lord, thine arm reveal,
And make thy glory known;
Now let us all thy presence feel,
And soften hearts of stone.
2 From all the guilt of former sin
May mercy set us free;
And let the year we now begin,
Begin and end with thee.
3 Send down thy Spirit from above,--
That saints may love thee more,
And sinners now may learn to love
Who never loved before.
4 And when before thee we appear,
In our eternal home,
May growing numbers worship here,
And praise thee in our room. Topics: The New Year; For Watch-Night
Now, gracious Lord, thine arm reveal
