Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #554 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Trinity Psalter Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
by which supported still we stand;
the opening year thy mercy shows;
that mercy crowns it till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
still are we 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,
thou art our joy, and thou our rest;
thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt these songs,
and seal in silence mortal tongues,
our helper God, in whom we trust,
shall keep our souls and guard our dust. Topics: Death Trusting God in; Opening and Closing of the Year Scripture: Ezra 8:22 Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
