Oh Lord of the New Year I´m calling on Thee,
To guide my steps close by your side.
To take from my life all the things that are wrong,
My selfishness, temper and pride.

Oh Lord take my hands, let them work for Thee,
Make me humble, contented and kind.
But most of all start; take all of my heart,
My body, my soul and my mind.

Give me peace in my heart, shoes on my feet
That are swift to obey your command,
Joy in my soul, power in my life
So that strong for the Saviour I´ll stand.

Oh Lord of the New Year, use me I pray,
I give this new year unto Thee.
It is yours, see me through, give me power anew,
To be what you want me to be.
