1. O God, whom neither time nor space can limit, hold, or bind, look down from heaven, thy dwelling place, with love for humankind.
2. Another year its course has run; thy loving care renew: forgive the ill that we have done, the good we failed to do.
3. In doubt or danger, all our days, be near to guard us still; let all our thoughts and all our ways be governed by thy will.
4. O help us here on earth to live from selfish passions free; to us at last in mercy give eternal life with thee.
