Wow. I did not know of this poem, or that it had been set to music till now. This was written by a German Pastor and Theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer from his prision cell on New Years Day. He was executed the following April for his role in a plot to kill Adolf Hitler. By gracious powers wonderfully sheltered And confidently waiting come what may We know that God is with us night and morning And never fails to greet us each new day By gracious powers faithfully surrounded Comforted by Him so wonderful and dear I’ll live those days with you and in his grace And enter with you into this New Year
