Thank You For The Blessings

This hymn was written to celebrate the turn of the century.  
For our community, it has become an annual part of the
Blessing of the New Year on January 31.  

1.   Thank you for the blessings 
      of our yesterdays. 
      By your grace, this New Year,            
      Fill our hearts anew. 
      Alleluia, alleluia,
      Fill our hearts anew.
      Alleluia, alleluia,                           
      Fill our hearts anew.  

                       

2.   Keep us in the moment
      of your love today.
      By your grace, this New Year,
      Grant us peace in you.
      Alleluia, alleluia,
      Grant us peace in you.                    
      Alleluia, alleluia, 
      Grant us peace in you.

3.  Guide us through the morrow       
     to our heavenly home.
     By you grace, this New Year,
     Light our way to you.
     Alleluia, alleluia,
     Light our way to you.
     Alleluia, alleluia,
     Light our way to you.
