[Lord, in Thy holy name we raise]

“Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness.”—Psalm lxv. 11.

Lord, in Thy holy name we raise,
With thankful heart and grateful tongue,
Our tribute of adoring praise,
Our due and joyful New Year's song.
We owe it to Thy tender grace
That circling months come rolling round,
That seasons followed in their place,
And now the year with goodness crown'd.
