Standing At The Portal

Standing at the portal Of the opening year, Words of comfort meet us, Hushing every fear; Spoken thru the silence By our Saviors voice, Tender, strong and faithful, Making us rejoice.

Verse 3

Onward, then, and fear not, Children of the 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 year 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.

He will never fail us, He will not forsake; For His eternal covenant He will never break. Resting on the promise, What have we to fear? God is all sufficient For the coming year.
