Bless, O Lord, The Opening Year,
To Each Soul Assembled Here:
Clothe Thy Word With Power Divine,
Make Us Willing To Be Thine.
Shepherd Of Thy Blood-Bought Sheep!
Teach The Stony Heart To Weep;
Let The Blind Have Eyes To See,
See Themselves, And Look On Thee!
Let The Minds Of All Our Youth
Feel The Force Of Sacred Truth;
While The Gospel Call They Hear,
May They Learn To Love And Fear.
Show Them What Their Ways Have Been,
Show The Desert Of Their Sin;
Then Thy Dying Love Reveal,
This Shall Melt A Heart Of Steel.
Where Thou Hast Thy Work Begun,
Give New Strength The Race To Run;
Scatter Darkness, Doubts And Fears,
Wipe Away The Mourners’ Tears.
Bless Us All Both Old And Young;
Call Forth Praise From Every Tongue:
Let The Whole Assembly Prove
All Thy Power, And All Thy Love.
