<p>Standing at the portal<br>
Of the opening year,<br>
Words of comfort meet us,<br>
Hushing every fear;<br>
Spoken thru the silence<br>
By our Savior&#8217;s voice,<br>
Tender, strong and faithful,<br>
Making us rejoice.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Onward, then, and fear not,<br>
Children of the day;<br>
For His Word shall never,<br>
Never pass away.</p>
<p>&#8220;I, the Lord, am with thee,<br>
Be thou not afraid;<br>
I will help and strengthen<br>
Be thou not dismayed.<br>
Yea, I will uphold thee<br>
With My own right hand;<br>
Thou art called and chosen<br>
In My sight to stand.&#8221;</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>For the year before us,<br>
O what rich supplies!<br>
For the poor and needy<br>
Living streams shall rise;<br>
For the sad and sinful<br>
Shall His grace abound;<br>
For the faint and feeble<br>
Perfect strength be found.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>He will never fail us,<br>
He will not forsake;<br>
For His eternal covenant<br>
He will never break.<br>
Resting on the promise,<br>
What have we to fear?<br>
God is all sufficient<br>
For the coming year.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
