About this Hymn
While written for the turn of a new year, this hymn is a helpful reminder at any time that all our days are guided by the sovereign, wise, loving hand of our faithful Father. This world is not our home, and God will keep us until the very end, when we stand "blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy" (Jude 24). – Bob Kauflin
Lyrics
Verse 1
This spinning world by your own hand hurls ever on around the sun. The seasons march at your command; the old departs, the new year comes. And though celestial is your gaze, your search and care for all our ways; we offer up to you this day and all of our tomorrows.
Verse 2
May zealous youth and cautious age determine not the steps we choose; great Shepherd, guide us through each day, oh, how we want to follow you. Come, Living Way, our way make clear; let perfect love drive out our fear; be thou our vision, now and here and all of our tomorrows.
Verse 3
When winter makes us reminisce of warmer days so distant now, of cherished saints the sun once kissed whose beauty passed behind the clouds, let all our fond and longing tears remind us we are pilgrims here; we trust you, Sov'reign of our years, with all of our tomorrows.
Verse 4
Hands to the plow, we're pressing on, and running hard to win the prize, empowered by the love of God with grace before and grace behind. For lo, what hope before us stands: you finish all that you began; eternal joy is in your hands, and all of our tomorrows.
