Great God, we sing that mighty hand

By which supported still we stand:

The opening year thy mercy shows;

Thy mercy crown it till it close!

2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,

Still we are guarded by our God;

By his incessant bounty fed,

By his unerring counsel led.

3 With grateful hearts the past we own;

The future, all to us unknown,

We to thy guardian care commit,

And peaceful leave before thy feet.

4 In scenes exalted or depressed,

Be thou our joy, and thou our rest:

Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,

Adored through all our changing days.
