New Year blessing
A New Year wish that’s bright and sunny
A wish for more than fame and money
Could ever buy; for all possessing
Is nothing without God’s sweet blessing!
A wish that in the coming year,
You’ll feel God’s presence ever near,
You’ll feel His Joy, till your heart sings,
Bourne on high on angels’ wings.
Though troubles are a part of life,
May His Peace reign throughout the strife
May stress and worry melt away
While Hope and Faith stand in their way.
Though life is often hard, unfair
May friends uplift you with their prayer;
May Love and Kindness pave your way,
And simple goodness mark your day.
When angry words like thunder roll,
God grant you wisdom, self control;
That gentleness that marks the brave,
That loving spirit, strong to save.
And most- a wish that you’re surrounded
By Love on which our faith is founded,
The Love that covers every flaw,
The Love that opens every door.
The Love to all the loveless shown,
The Love that comes from God alone.
