Lord, I aspire throughout this new-born year

Hymn 241

1

Lord, I aspire throughout this new-born year,my days in holy love and fear to spend,in love to you, my God, for ever dear,in fear of all that would your will offend.

2

Lord, I aspire to break the chains of sin,to still its inner tumult and its strife;help me, O Lord, the duty to begin,and guide me to a purer, holier life.

3

Lord, I aspire to love my fellow man,to feel his sympathy, and give him mine;without your help, O Lord, I never can;grant to me, Lord, your gracious aid divine.

4

Lord, I aspire to be your willing child,trusting in you whatever may betide;O make me humble, teachable, and mild,and be my Saviour, counsellor, and guide.

5

Lord, I aspire to reach that home above,where you alone are worshipped and adored,the God of mercy, purity, and love,Jehovah, Jesus, Father, King, and Lord!

Joseph Deans 1845-1922
