►New Years Prayer

The Christian’s New Years Prayer

Thou Christ of mine, Thy gracious ear low bending

Through these glad New Year days,

To catch the countless prayers to heaven ascending

For e’en hard hearts do raise

Some secret wish for fame, or gold, or power,

Or freedom from all care

Dear, patient Christ, who listeneth hour on hour,

Hear now a Christian’s prayer.

Let this young year that, silent, walks beside me,

Be as a means of grace

To lead me up, no matter what betide me,

Nearer the Master’s face.

If it need be that ere I reach the Fountain

Where living waters play,

My feet should bleed from sharp stones on the mountain,

Then cast them in my way.

If my vain soul needs blows and bitter losses

To shape it for Thy crown,

Then bruise it, burn it, burden it with crosses,

With sorrows bear it down.

Do what Thou wilt to mould me to Thy pleasure,

And if I should complain,

Heap full of anguish yet another measure

Until I smile at pain.

Send dangers—deaths! but tell me how to dare them;

Enfold me in Thy care.

Send trials, tears! but give me strength to bear them

This is a Christian’s prayer.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
