Original text and translations

English text

The year draws near its closing,
With all its joy and tears,
With all its griefs and triumphs,
With all its hopes and fears,
We humbly seek Thy blessing,
Our sin with shame confessing,
O Jesu, Lord, compassionate,
O guide us through the passing years,
O Jesu, Lord, compassionate,
O guide us through the passing years.

The year draws near its dawning,
Lord guide us thro’ its days,
With courage, hope and vision,
Along Thy chosen ways.
O Lord to us extend
The riches of Thy grace,
That when these fleeting year shall end,
We may behold Thee face to face,
That when these fleeting year shall end,
We may behold Thee face to face.
Amen
Translation by Helen A. Dickinson
