1 Thou who roll’st the year around,
Crowned with mercies large and free,
Rich Thy gifts to us abound,
Warm our praise shall rise to Thee.
Crowned with mercies large and free,
Rich Thy gifts to us abound,
Warm our praise shall rise to Thee.
2 Kindly to our worship bow,
While our grateful thanks we tell,
That, sustained by Thee, we now
Bid the parting year--farewell!

That, sustained by Thee, we now
Bid the parting year--farewell!
3 All its numbered days are sped,
All its busy scenes are o’er,
All its joys for ever fled,
All its sorrows felt no more.
All its busy scenes are o’er,
All its joys for ever fled,
All its sorrows felt no more.
4 Mingled with th’eternal past,
Its remembrance shall decay;
Yet to be revived at last
At the solemn judgment-Day.
Its remembrance shall decay;
Yet to be revived at last
At the solemn judgment-Day.
5 All our follies, Lord, forgive!
Cleanse us from each guilty stain;
Let Thy grace within us live,
That we spend not years in vain.
Cleanse us from each guilty stain;
Let Thy grace within us live,
That we spend not years in vain.
