Lord on this the final day
Of two thousand, seventeen
We give you thanks,
Three hundred sixty-five days
Are about to culminate
And Lord to be quite frank,
You have preserved us.
There have been ups and downs
We’ve encountered pleasure and pain
We have been wise and otherwise
But thought it all
There have been your blessings
Disguised and undisguised,
Thank you Jesus
Today Lord we salute you
We extol you
And we give you loads of praise,
In our weakness was your strength
In our depression there was hope
We you have raised,
In you we trust.
As we reflect on your goodness
And your benevolence
May we trust you more,
As we anticipate the ensuing year
And whatever there is
May we be daily sure
That you are with us.
Praise and honour and glory
Be unto your holy name
Forever and ever and ever
And righteousness, love and peace
Be always our hallmark
And our overarching banner
However the world may fuss.
Amen and Amen and Amen
