[Verse]
The clock struck twelve the old year fades
A new dawn breaks with brighter shades
The past is gone no chains to bind
I step in hope leave fear behind
[Chorus]
Blessed hope it lights my way
Through the night into the day
Christlike love my soul's desire
Lift me higher set me afire
[Verse 2]
The struggles taught me how to stand
With grace and peace a guiding hand
I won't look back the pain is done
A new horizon's just begun
[Chorus]
Blessed hope it lights my way
Through the night into the day
Christlike love my soul's desire
Lift me higher set me afire
[Bridge]
Through every trial I will sing
A song of faith through everything
His mercy new with every dawn
In His embrace I carry on
[Chorus]
Blessed hope it lights my way
Through the night into the day
Christlike love my soul's desire
Lift me higher set me afire
