Lyrics
The First Day Of The Year
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This first day of the year Jesus to us doth give
His pure and precious blood that we in Him may live
A most rare New Year's gift, a greater none could have
A gift more rich and precious none can desire or crave
What's done on this great day by circumcized Jesus
Is comfort and delight, wonder and joy to us
Who never had beginning, He by whom all began
Begins this day the work of our salvation
Blessed be this New Year's day, blessed be this name Jesus
Blessed be this day of grace and mercy unto us
Let's all put on new hearts to give to our Jesus
No other New Year's gift doth He require of us
