Author: Gustaf Erikson Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #578 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Hymnal and Order of Service Lyrics: 1 This solemn hour O let us be,
Dear Heav'nly Father, close to Thee.
It passes now, the dying year,
Eternity is drawing near.
Bless us this night, O Lord, we pray:
Help us to follow Thee alway.
2 We pray to-night: O Saviour dear,
If we should live another year,
Give grace and faith that it may be
A year of service unto Thee.
Bless us this night, O Lord, we pray:
Help us to follow Thee alway.
Amen. Topics: Occasional For a Day of Humiliation; New Year's Watch Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
