Come, Lord, and bless the rising race!
Make this a happy hour.
According to thy richest grace.
And thine Almighty pow'r.
Dear youth, we know your sinful state—
May God your hearts renew!
We would awhile ourselves forget
To pour out pray'r for you.
We see, tho' you perceive it not,
Th' approaching, awfull doom!
Oh, tremble at the solemn thought.
And flee the wrath to come!
Dear Saviour, let this new-born year
Spread an alarm abroad;
And cry in ev'ry careless ear,
"Prepare to meet thy God!"
