We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know. A-men. -9 2 As the winged arrow flies Bear us down life's rapid stream; 3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above. Amen. JOHN NEWTON To begin the year with praise; Praise for light so brightly shin- ing On our steps from heav'n a- bove; Praise for mer cies Hear our song of thank-ful-ness; Je sus, our Re-deem - er, 2 In our weakness and distress, Rock of strength, be Thou our Stay; In the pathless wilderness Be our true and living Way. 3 Who of us death's awful road In the coming year shall tread, With Thy rod and staff, O God, Comfort Thou his dying bed. 4 Keep us faithful, keep us pure, 5 So within Thy palace gate We shall praise, on golden strings, Thee the only Potentate, Lord of lords and King of kings. Amen. HENRY DOWNTON |
