A hymn by Susan Ternyey
Copyright 2019 Susan Ternyey
With Joy we rise and lift our Praise
To God for this new Blessed day.
New Hope, new Start, new Birth and Life,
By Grace from darkness dawns new Light.
With this New Year let us embrace
The converting power of His Grace,
Which gives us means to become as our Lord:
Led onward, upward, by His Word.
We stumble in our daily toils—
Forgive us, Lord, for human foibles—
And week by week to the Path anew
We commit ourselves and are renewed.
With joy we rise and thank our God,
With love for each new wondrous birth;
His Son came a babe, a babe all begin,
And in rebirth we begin again.
In purest water the old life is purged,
And infant saint by Grace emerge,
So in mortal Death we pass through the Door
To Never-ending Life, and Joy evermore.
