2 Lo, a theme for deepest sadness, In ourselves with sin defiled; Lo, a theme for holiest gladness, In our Father reconciled. 4 Still, when danger shall betide us, Be Thy warning whisper heard; Keep us at Thy feet, and guide us By Thy Spirit and Thy word. 3 Gracious Saviour ! Thou hast lengthened 5 Let Thy favor and Thy blessing And hast blessed our mortal span, Crown the year we now begin ; And in our weak hearts hast strengthened Let us all, Thy strength possessing, What Thy grace alone began. Grow in grace and vanquish sin. Henry Downton |
