Bless, O Lord, the op’ning 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 hearts to weep;
Let the blind have eyes to see,
See themselves, and look to Thee.
Where Thou hast Thy work begun,
Give new strength the race to run;
Scatter darkness, doubts, and fears;
Wipe away the mourner’s tears.
Bless us all, both old and young;
Call forth praise from every tongue;
Let this whole assembly prove
All Thy power and all Thy love.
---Alternative verses---
Bless, O Lord, this opening year
To the souls assembled here;
Clothe Thy Word with power Divine,
Make all willing to be Thine.
Bless, O Lord, each opening year
To the souls assembling here;
Clothe Thy Word with power Divine,
Make all willing to be Thine.
Bless us all, both old and young;
Call forth praise from every tongue;
Let our whole assembly prove
All Thy power and all Thy love!
