To God the Anthem Raising
Author: Paul Eber, 1511-69; Carl Döving, 1867-1937 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To God the anthem raising,
Sing, Christians, great and small;
Sing out, his goodness praising,
Oh, thank him, one and all!
Behold how God this year,
Which now is safely ended,
Has in his love befriended
His children far and near.
2 Let us consider rightly
His mercies manifold,
And let us not think lightly
Of all his gifts untold.
Let thankfulness recall
How God this year has led us,
How he has clothed and fed us,
The great ones and the small.
3 To church and state he granted
His peace in ev'ry place;
His vineyard he has planted
Among us by his grace.
His ever-bounteous hand
Prosperity has given
And want and famine driven
From this our native land.
4 O Father, Lord of heaven,
For all your gifts of love
Which you to us have given
We lift our thanks above.
In Jesus' name we here,
To you our prayers addressing,
Still ask you for your blessing:
Grant us a joyful year. Topics: Name of Jesus/ Presentation; New Year Used With Tune: HELFT MIR GOTT'S GÜTE PREISEN
To God the Anthem Raising
See God to Heaven Ascending
Author: Martin L. Seltz, 1909-67; Gottfried W. Sacer, 1635-99 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 See God to heaven ascending
In triumph to his throne,
Great shouts in tumult blending
With trumpets' thrilling tone!
Sing praises to your Lord!
Sing praises, bring ovations,
To Christ, the King of nations,
The God of hosts adored!
2 Lo, heaven with joy is sounding
His glad return to see;
Behold the saints surrounding
The Lord who set them free;
Now myriad angels come,
The cherub band rejoices,
And clearest seraph voices
All welcome Jesus home.
3 We see the steps ascending
That raised our Head on high;
We see the highway wending
To heaven's unending joy.
Our Savior leads the way;
Yet he would not bereave us,
A well-marked path would leave us,
Prepares our passageway.
4 Our minds are heavenward tending,
Where he prepares our place;
Our course on earth is ending,
There to adore his grace.
Bestir your heart and soul!
Where Jesus Christ has entered,
There let your hope be centered;
There run to reach your goal!
5 Let all our thoughts be winging,
With thee to heaven ascend;
Let all our hearts be singing:
"We seek thee, Savior, Friend,
Thee, God's anointed Son,
Our Life and Way to heaven,
To whom all power is given,
Our Joy and Hope and Crown." Topics: The Christian Year Ascensiontide Used With Tune: ZEUCH EIN ZU DEINEN TOREN

The King is drawing nigh;
Arise and hail with gladness
The Ruler from on high.
Ye Christians, hasten forth!
Your praise and homage bring Him
And glad hosannas sing Him;
Naught else your love is worth.
2 Arise, ye drooping mourners!
The King is very near;
Away with grief and sorrow!
For, lo! your Help is here.
Behold, in many a place--
Oh, blessed consolation!--
You find Him, your Salvation,
Within His means of grace.
3 Arise, ye much afflicted!
The King is not afar.
Rejoice, ye long dejected,
Here comes the Morning Star!
The Lord will give you joy;
Tho' troubles now distress you,
With comfort He will bless you,
E’en death He will destroy.
4 Arise, ye poor and needy!
The King provides for you;
He comes with succor speedy,
With mercy ever new.
Receive your gracious King,
The Giver of all blessing.
Hail Him, His name confessing,
And glad hosannas sing.
5 Be righteous, ye His subjects,
The King is just and true;
Prepare for Him a highway,
Make all things straight and new.
For, lo, He means it well;
Then willing bear the crosses
That He Himself imposes,
Nor let your courage fail.
6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest,
Thyself made poor and weak!
O Love beyond expression,
That thus can sinners seek!
For this, O Lord, will we
Our joyous tribute bring Thee
And glad hosannas sing Thee,
And ever grateful be.
Amen.

O People, Rise and Labor

O People, Rise and Labor
Come, Let Us All, With Fervor
Author: Paul Eber, 1511-1569; Johann C. Jacobi Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us all, with fervor,
On whom Heav’n’s mercies shine,
To our supreme preserver
In tuneful praises join.
Another year is gone;
Of which the tender mercies
(Each pious heart rehearses)
Demand a grateful song.
2 Tell o’er, with true devotion,
The wonders of His grace:
Let no polluting notion
Our gratitude deface.
But still remember well,
That this year’s renovation
Renews our obligation
To fight ’gainst sin and hell.
3 His grace is still preserving
Our peace in church and state;
His love is never swerving,
In spite of Satan’s hate.
Dispensed with open hand,
His blessings on this nation
Still ward off desolation,
And save a sinful land.
4 ’Tis His eternal kindness
That spares us from the rod.
Tho’ long our willful blindness
Has sore provoked our God
To pour His vengeance down;
Yet still His grace provides us,
And still His mercy hides us,
From His own dreadful frown.
5 The source of all compassion
Pities our feeble frame
When, turning from transgression,
We come in Jesus’ name
Before His holy face;
Then every sinful motion
Is cast into the ocean
Of never-failing grace.
6 To Christ our peace is owing:
Through Him Thou art appeased.
Through Him Thy love’s still flowing:
O! wilt Thou then be pleased,
Through Christ Thy grace to send,
In all its strength and beauty,
To keep us in our duty,
’Till these frail days shall end. Used With Tune: HELFT MIR GOTTES GÜTE Text Sources: Tr.: Psalmodia Germanica (London: J. Young, 1722)

Rise, Children of the Kingdom

Rise, Children of the Kingdom
The power of sin no longer
Author: Thomas Kingo, 1634-1703; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
The power of sin no longer
Within my heart shall reign;
Faith must grow ever stronger
And carnal lust be slain;
For when I was baptized,
The bonds of sin were severed
And I by grace delivered
To live for Jesus Christ.
Would I accept the merit
Of my baptismal grace
And with my faith and spirit
The Savior’s cross embrace,
How great would be my blame
Should I abide in evil
And not renounce the devil
In Christ my Savior’s name.
It can bestow no treasure
On me that Christ arose.
If I will not with pleasure
The power of death oppose,
And with my heart embrace
The Savior, who is risen
And has from error’s prison
Redeemed me by His grace.
Lord Jesus, help me ever
To fight “the old man” so
That he shall not deliver
Me to eternal woe,
But that I here may die
From sin and all offences
And, by the blood that cleanses,
Attain my home on high.
The power of sin no longer
Arise, Arise, Ye Christians
Author: J. Rist Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Arise, arise, ye Christians,
The King is drawing nigh;
Arise and hail with gladness
The Ruler from on high.
Come forth and sound the peal,
To Him your praises bringing
And glad hosannas singing
With holy festive zeal.
2 Look up, desponding mourners,
The King is very near;
Away with grief and sadness,
Your helper now is here.
We find Him in His Word,
The source of our salvation;
And sweetest consolation
His presence doth afford.
3 Be faithful, all ye subjects,
Your King is just and true;
Prepare for Him a highway,
Make all things straight and new.
He hath in mind our good,
So let us bear our crosses
And suffer all our losses
In calm and fearless mood.
4 Rejoice, ye heavy-hearted,
The King appears in might;
He evermore hath loved us
And brings us pure delight.
Now let us fear no more,
No evil shall befall us,
His children God doth call us;
We may His help implore.
5 How richly Thou dost bless us,
Thyself made poor and weak!
What love beyond expression
That sinners thus can seek!
O Lord, for this shall we,
To Thee our tribute bringing
And glad hosannas singing,
Thy grateful people be.
