I: Sin has undone our wretched race. / But Jesus has restored / And brought the sinner face to face / With his forgiving Lord.
II: This we repeat, from year to year, / And press upon our youth; / Lord, give them an attentive ear; / Lord, save them by thy truth.
III: Blessings upon the rising race!
Make this a happy hour, / According to thy richest grace / And thine almighty power.
IV: We feel for your unhappy state, / (May you regard it too! )
And would awhile ourselves forget, / To pour out prayer for you.
V: We see, though you perceive it not, / Th' approaching awful doom; / O tremble at the solemn thought, / And flee the wrath to come!
VI: Dear Saviour, let this new-born year / Spread an alarm abroad; / And cry in every careless ear / "Prepare to meet thy God! "
