Sing to the great Je­ho­vah’s praise! All praise to Him be­longs: Who kind­ly length­ens out our days Demands our choic­est songs. His pro­vi­dence hath brought us through Another va­ri­ous year: We all with vows and an­thems new Before our God ap­pear. Father, Thy mer­cies past we own; Thy still con­tin­ued care; To Thee pre­sent­ing, through Thy Son, Whate’er we have or own. Our lips and lives shall glad­ly show The won­ders of Thy love, While on in Jes­u’s steps we go To see Thy face above. Our re­si­due of days or hours Thine, whol­ly Thine, shall be; And all our con­se­crat­ed powe­rs A sa­cri­fice to be: Till Je­sus in the clouds ap­pear To saints on earth for­give­n, And bring the grand Sab­bat­ic year, The ju­bi­lee of Heav’n. —Charles Wesley, Hymns for New Year’s Day, 1750
