Fear thou not for I am with thee”- Isa 41:10
1 Standing at the portal
Of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us
Hushing every fear,
Spoken thro the silence
By our Father’s voice,
Tender, strong, and faithful;
Making us rejoice
Onward, then and fear not,
Children of day!
For his word shall never
Never pass away!
- 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.
- For the years 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.
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
