Proverbs_9-10-2: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding

Standing at the portal Of the opening year,

Words of comfort meet us,

Hushing every fear;

Spoken thro’ the silence

By our Father’s voice.

Tender, strong, and faithful.

Making us rejoice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Onward, then, and fear not,

Children of the day!

For His Word shall never,

Never pass away!

 

 

 

 

 

I, the Lord, am with thee,

Be thou not afraid!

I will help and strengthen,

Be thou not dismayed!

Yea, I will uphold thee

With My own right hand;

Thou art called and chosen

In My sight to stand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the year before us,

O what rich supplies!

For the poor and needy

Living streams shall rise;

For the sad and sinful
