For on this day from heaven
The gracious God
in gladness, now has given,
From his own high abode,
A bountiful new year,
Joy, health, and ev'ry blessing,
Unbounded and unceasing;
to Christians ev'rywhere.
Then come, o Christian brethren,
Come now to Jesus Christ;
Come worship him together,
That you may now be blest.
Come, thank him, pray to him
That in the year that greets you
His kindness, which protects you,
Again to you may come.
With all you voices ringing,
With instrumenst of joy,
Praise him with happy singing;
Let all things joyful be.
Sing to you great God,
Sing, praise him, thank him, pray now;
Before your Jesus go now.
He saves you from all need
