• Lyrics:
  Helft mir Gott's Guete preisen,
  Ihr lieben Kinderlein,
  Mit G'sang und andrer Weisen
  Ihm allzeit dankbar sein,
  Vornehmlich zu der Zeit,
  Da sich das Jahr tut enden,
  Die Sonn' sich zu uns wenden,
  Das Neujahr ist nicht weit.
  
  Ernstlich lasst uns betrachten
  Des Herren reiche Gnad'
  Und so gering nicht achten
  Sein' unzaehlig' Wohltat,
  Stets fuehren zu Gemuet,
  Wie er dies Jahr hat geben
  All' Notdurft diesem Leben
  Und uns vor Leid behuet't,
  
  Lehramt, Schul', Kirch' erhalten
  In gutem Fried' und Ruh',
  Nahrung fuer Jung' und Alte
  Bescheret auch dazu
  Und gar mit milder Hand
  Sein' Gueter ausgespendet,
  Verwuestung abgewendet
  Von dieser Stadt und Land.
  
  Er hat unser verschonet
  Aus vaeterlicher Gnad';
  Wenn er sonst haett' belohnet
  All unsre Missetat
  Mit gleicher Straf' und Pein,
  Wir waeren laengst gestorben,
  In mancher Not verdorben,
  Hie wir voll Suenden sein.
  
  Nach Vaters Art und Treuen
  Er uns so gnaedig ist;
  Wenn wir die Suend' bereuen,
  Glauben an Jesum Christ
  Herzlich, ohn' Heuchelei,
  Tut er all' Suend' vergeben,
  Lindert die Straf' daneben,
  Steht uns in Noeten bei.
  
  All solch dein' Guet' wir preisen,
  Vater im Himmelsthron,
  Die du uns tust beweisen
  Durch Christum, deinen Sohn,
  Und bitten ferner dich:
  Gib uns ein froehlich Jahre,
  Vor allem Leid bewahre
  Und naehr uns mildiglich!

• Lyrics:
  Guds godhed vil vi prise,
  de store med de små;
  den bedste nytårsvise,
  som vi kan finde på,
  er tak af hjertens grund
  for gave god fuldmangen
  til os i år forgangen
  af Gud så rig og rund.
  
  Fik føde vi og klæde,
  gik frit vi ind og ud,
  har vi haft hjertens glæde,
  det alt er fra vor Gud;
  og satte han med fred
  i kirke og i skole
  ej nådig til os stole
  midt i sin kristenhed?
  
  Vi føle må med smerte,
  det alt er ufortjent,
  men Gud har faderhjerte
  til synder hver omvendt;
  tror vi kun på hans Søn,
  tilgiver han os brøden,
  formindsker daglig nøden,
  forøger troens løn.
  
  Vor Fader i det høje,
  som var i år så mild!
  Vi nåde for dit øje
  har fundet hidindtil;
  i Jesu Kristi navn
  vi beder dig så såre:
  Vær dobbelt mild ad åre!
  Råd bod på alle savn!

• Lyrics:
  To God the anthem raising,
  Sing, Christians, great and small;
  Sing out, His goodness praising,
  Oh, thank Him one and all!
  Behold how God this year,
  Which now is safely ended,
  Hath in His love befriended
  His children far and near.
  
  Let us consider rightly
  His mercies manifold
  And let us not think lightly
  Of all His gifts untold.
  Let thankfulness recall
  How God this year hath led us,
  How He hath clothed and fed us,
  The great ones and the small.
  
  To Church and State He granted
  His peace in every place,
  His vineyard He hath planted
  Among us by His grace.
  His ever bounteous hand
  Prosperity hath given
  And want and famine driven
  From this our native land.
  
  His Father heart is yearning
  To take us for His own
  When, our transgressions mourning,
  We trust in Christ alone;
  When in His name we pray
  And humbly make confession,
  He pardons our transgression
  And is our faithful Stay.
  
  Our God hath well defended,
  Hath kept us through His grace;
  But if He had contended
  With us our sins to trace
  And given us our meed,
  We all would then be lying
  In sin and sorrow dying,
  Each one for his misdeed.
  
  O Father dear in heaven,
  For all Thy gifts of love
  Which Thou to us hast given
  We lift our thanks above.
  In Jesus' name we here,
  To Thee our prayers addressing,
  Still ask Thee for Thy blessing:
  Grant us a joyful year.
