Once again the year turns new.
The death of the old,
Leads to the birth of the new.

As I pass from one moment to the next
There is a death and birth.
The past is dead.
Today is new
Full of opportunities and possibilities.

Lord
What will I make of this year?
Guide me
To make the most of each new moment
To allow you to love me
And I to love others.

Circle me, O Father
Creator who loves me
Keep Protection near
and danger afar

Circle me, O Son
Brother who dies for me
Keep Protection near
and danger afar

Circle me, O Spirit
Life, Friend, Counsellor
Keep Protection near
and danger afar
