Verse 1
Lord, for the years 
your love has kept and guided, 
urged and inspired us, 
cheered us on our way, 
sought us and saved us, 
pardoned and provided: 
Lord of the years, 
we bring our thanks today. 
 
Verse 2
Lord, for that word, 
the word of life which fires us, 
speaks to our hearts 
and sets our souls ablaze, 
teaches and trains, 
rebukes us and inspires us: 
Lord of the word, 
receive your people's praise. 
 
Verse 3
Lord, for our land 
in this our generation, 
spirits oppressed by 
pleasure, wealth and care: 
for young and old, 
for commonwealth and nation, 
Lord of our land, 
be pleased to hear our prayer. 
 
Verse 4
Lord, of our world 
where men disown and doubt you, 
loveless in strength, 
and comfortless in pain, 
hungry and helpless, 
lost indeed without you; 
Lord of the world, 
we pray that Christ may reign. 
 
Verse 5
Lord, of ourselves, 
in living power remake us 
self on the cross 
and Christ upon the throne, 
past put behind us, 
for the future take us; 
Lord of our lives, 
to live for Christ alone.
