Via Conjubilant With Song:
O God, whom neither time nor spaceConjubilant With Song: Another Year Its Course Has Run
Can limit, hold, or bind.
Look down from heav'n, Thy dwelling place
With love for humankind.
Another year its course has run,
Thy loving care renew;
Forgive the ill that we have done,
The good we failed to do.
In doubt or danger, all our days,
Be near to guard us still;
Let all our thoughts and all our ways
Be guided by Thy will.
O help us here on earth to live
From selfish strife set free;
To us at last in mercy give
Eternal life with Thee.
Horace Smith, 19th cent.; alt.
Tune DUNFERMLINE (C.M.)
Scottish Psalter, 1615
