Welcoming the new year

Daily Reading for January 1 • The Holy Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ

This day is a new day
that has never been before.
This year is a new year,
the opening door.

Enter, Lord Christ—
We have joy in Your coming.
You have given us life;
And we welcome Your coming. . . .

You have given us life
and we welcome Your coming.
Be with us, Lord,
we have joy, we have joy.
This year is a new year,
the opening door.
Be with us, Lord,
we have joy, we have joy.

A blessing for the new year in Celtic Daily Prayer: Prayers and Readings from the Northumbria Community (New York: HarperOne, 2002).
