Standing at the portal Of the opening year, Words of comfort meet us, Hushing every fear; Spoken through the silence By our Father's voice, Tender, strong and faithful, making us rejoice. [Refrain:] Onward, then, and fear not, Children of the day; For His word shall never, Never pass away. 2. "I, the Lord, am with thee, Be thou not afraid; I will help and strengthen, Be thou not dismayed. Yea, I will uphold thee With My own right hand; Thou art called and chosen In My sight to stand." [Refrain:] 3. For the year before us, O what rich supplies! For the poor and needy Living streams shall rise; For the sad and sinful Shall His grace abound; For the faint and feeble Perfect strength be found. [Refrain:] 4. He will never fail us, He will not forsake; His eternal covenant He will never break. Resting on His promise. What have we to fear? God is all-sufficient For the coming year.
