New Year (Celtic Daily Prayer) pg.238

 

This day is a new day

that has never been before.

This year is a new year,

the opening door.

Enter, Lord Christ-

we have joy in your coming.

You have given us life;

and we welcome Your coming.

I turn now to face You,

I lift up my eyes.

Be blessing my face, Lord;

be blessing my eyes.

May all my eyes look on

be blessed and be bright,

my neighbours, my loved ones

be blessed in your sight.

You have given us light

and we welcome Your coming.

Be with us, Lord,

we have joy, we have joy.

This year is a new year,

the opening door.

Be with us, Lord,

we have joy, we have joy.
