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.

Onward, then and fear not, Children of day! For his word shall never, Never pass away!

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.
f
Onward, then and fear not, Children of day! For his word shall never, Never pass away!

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.
f
Onward, then and fear not, Children of day! For his word shall never, Never pass away!
