Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German pastor-theologian who spoke truth to power and as a consequence was jailed in 1943 and two years later executed by hanging. Here is the 7th stanza of a poem he wrote from his prison cell for the New Year shortly before his death.
While all the powers of good aid and attend us,boldly we'll face the future, be it what may.At even, and at morn, God will befriend us,and oh, most surely on each new year’s day.
