Original text and translations

German text Jesu, nun sei gepreiset Zu diesem neuen Jahr, Für dein' Gut', uns beweiset In aller Noth und G'fahr: Dass wir haben erlebet Die neu' fröhliche Zeit, Die voller Gnaden schwebet Und ew'ger Seligkeit. Dass wir in guter Stille Das alt' Jahr hab'n erfüllet. Wir woll'n uns dir ergeben Jetzt und immerdar: Behüt' uns Leib und Leben Hinfort das ganze Jahr!

English translation JESUS! to Thee be praises Upon this new year’s dawn, For all Thy loving graces That through the year were shown In danger, need, and sadness; Still dost Thou deign to bless With this new day gladness And heav’nly blessedness. In peace the year is ending; We leave to Thy good tending Ourselves both now and ever, And pray Thee, Savior dear, To shield us with Thy favor Throughout the coming year!
