“Wisdom Ascribe, and Might and Praise”
Wisdom ascribe, and might and praise
To God, who lengthens out our days,
Who spares us yet another year,
And lets us see His goodness here;
Happy, and wise, the time redeem,
And live, my friends, and die to Him.
Merciful God, how shall we raise
Our hearts to pay Thee all Thy praise?
Our hearts shall beat for Thee alone,
Our lives shall make Thy goodness known,
Our souls and bodies shall be Thine,
A living sacrifice divine.
I, and my house, will serve the Lord,
Led by the Spirit and the Word;
We plight our faith, assembled here,
To serve our God the ensuing year;
And vow, when time shall be no more,
Through all eternity to adore
