A New Year Resolve

With the old years annual dying,
We are wont to make resolves;
And we afterward cease trying
Long before the year revolves.
My advice to all good Christians,
Who their promises would save
Is to lean on Gods assistance
For the strength they may not have
Grace is promised all-sufficient,
Grace, through faith is our support
He, who only is Omniscient,
In his word this doctrine taught.
Let us, then, our plans be laying,
How we may improve the past.
Trusting Jesus for this SAYING
Il am with, you to the last"
