New Year's Day
"Thou hast avouched the Lord this day to be Thy God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His judgments, and to hearken unto His voice. And the Lord hath avouched thee this day to be His peculiar people, as He hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all His commandments" (Deuteronomy 26:17,18).
Avouch it plainly on this day
The new year has begun:
We resolve here to obey
And follow God the Son!
For only then can we avoid
The snares that lie in wait,
Deceiving those they have destroyed,
Who noticed them too late.
Lead us onward, Lord, to heaven,
As we start this year.
Draw us in two thousand seven;
Keep us ever near.
