For Thy mercy and Thy grace

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #41 (1893) Lyrics: 1 FOR Thy mercy and Thy grace, Constant through another year, Hear our song of thankfulness; Jesus, our Redeemer, hear! 2 In our weakness and distress, Rock of strength, be Thou our Stay; In the pathless wilderness, Be our true and living Way. 3 Who of us death's awful road In the coming year shall tread, With Thy rod and staff, O God, Comfort Thou his dying head. 4 Make us faithful, make us pure, Keep us evermore Thine own; Help, O help us to endure, Fit us for Thy promised crown. 5 So within Thy palace gate We shall praise, on golden strings, Thee, the only Potentate, Lord of lords, and King of kings.

Great God, we sing that mighty Hand

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #42 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 GREAT God, we sing that mighty Hand By which supported still we stand; The opening year Thy mercy shows; Let mercy crown it, till it close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still we are guarded by our God; By His incessant bounty fed, By His unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Thy guardian care commit, And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or depressed, Be Thou our Joy, and Thou our Rest, Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt our songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues; Our helper, God, in whom we trust, In better worlds our soul shall boast.

Help us, O Lord! behold, we enter

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #43 (1893) Meter: 9.8 Lyrics: 1 HELP us, O Lord! behold, we enter Upon another year to-day; In Thee our hopes and thoughts now centre, Renew our courage for the way: New life, new strength, new happiness We ask of Thee, O hear and bless! 2 May ev'ry plan and undertaking This year be all begun with Three, When I am sleeping or am waking, Still let me know Thou art with me; Abroad do Thou my footsteps guide, At home be ever at my side. 3 Be this a time of grace and pardon; Thy rod I take with willing mind, But suffer naught my heart to harden, O let me now thy mercy find; In Thee alone, my God, I live, Thou only canst my sins forgive. 4 And may this year to me be holy; Your grace so fill my every thought That all my life be pure and lowly And truthful as a Christian's ought; So make me, while yet dwelling here, Pious and blest from year to year. 5 And grant, Lord, when the year is over, That it for me in peace may close; In all things care for me, and cover My head in time of fear and woes; So may I, when my years are gone, Appear with joy before Thy throne.

Now let us come before Him

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #44 (1893) Lyrics: 1 NOW let us come before Him, With songs and prayers adore Him, Who to our life from heaven All needed strength hath given. 2 The stream of years is flowing, And we are onward going, From old to new surviving, And by His mercy thriving. 3 In woe we often languish, And pass through times of anguish, Of wars and trepidation, Alarming every nation. 4 A faithful mother keepeth Guard, while her infant sleepeth, Its fear and grief assuaging, When angry storms are raging. 5 Thus God His children shieldeth And full protection yieldeth; When need and woe distress them, His loving arms caress them. 6 In vain is all our doing; The labor we're pursuing In our hands prospers never, Unless God watches ever. 7 Our song to Thee ascendeth, Whose mercy never endeth; Our thanks to Thee we render, Who art our strong Defender. 8 O God of mercy! hear us, Our Father! be Thou near us; 'Mid crosses and in sadness Be Thou our Fount of gladness. 9 To all that bow before Thee And for Thy grace implore Thee O grant Thy benediction And patience in affliction. 10 With richest blessings crown us, In all our ways, Lord! own us; Give grace, who grace bestowest To all, e'en to the lowest. 11 To all forlorn be Father, Thy erring children gather, And of the poor and needy Be Thou the Succor speedy. 12 Grant help to all afflicted; And to the souls dejected, By melancholy haunted, May cheerful thoughts be granted. 13 O Lord! assistance lend us, Thy holy Spirit send us, That He may make us glorious, And lead to Thee victorious. 14 All this Thy hand bestoweth, Thou Life, whence our life floweth; To me and all believers Grant, Lord, these New Year's favors.

Amen. Topics: New Year Languages: English

The new-born Child this early morn

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #46 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 THE new-born Child this early morn, The dear Christ-child of virgin born, Again brings fro His heavenly home A new year to all Christendom. 2 This causes joy to angels fair, Who love to keep us in their care; They sing that in this wondrous Child God now with man is reconciled. 3 Since God is reconciled with man, What harm can Satan do us then? O'er Satan and the gates of hell This Christ-child shall for us prevail. 4 He brings the year of jubilee! Why doubt we yet despondently? Cheer up! this is a joyous day, The Christ-child drives all care away. Topics: New Year Languages: English

The old year now hath passed away

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #47 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 THE old year now hath passed away, We thank Thee, Christ our Lord, to-day, That Thou hast kept us through the year, When danger and distress were near. 2 We pray Thee, O Eternal Son, Who with the Father reign'st as one, To guard and rule Thy Christendom Through all the ages yet to come. 3 Take not Thy saving Word away, Our souls' true comfort, staff, and stay; Abide with us, and keep us free From all false doctrines graciously. 4 O help us to forsake all sin, A new and holier course begin; From last year's sins, Lord, hide Thy face, In this new year grant us Thy grace: 5 That as true Christians we may live, Or die in peace that Thou canst give, To rise again when Thou shalt come, And enter our eternal home. 6 There shall we thank Thee, and adore, With all the angels evermore; Lord Jesus Christ, increase our faith To praise Thy name through life and death.

The year begins with Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #48 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THE year begins with Thee, And Thou begin'st with woe, To let the world of sinners see That blood for sin must flow. 2 Thine infant cries, O Lord, Thy tears upon the breast Are not enough,--the legal sword Must do its stern behest. 3 Am I a child of tears, Cradled in care and woe? And seems it hard my vernal years Few vernal joys can show? 4 Seemeth it strange to me My own will to deny? Seemeth it sad, my soul, to Thee Under the yoke to lie? 5 I look, and hold my peace: The Giver of all good E'en from the womb takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 6 That I may reap in love, Help me to sow in fear: So life a winter's morn may prove To a bright endless year.

While with ceaseless course the sun

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #49 (1893) Lyrics: 1 WHILE with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Nevermore to meet us here; Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know. 2 As the winged arrow flies Speedily, the mark to find; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream: Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew, Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view. Bless Thy word to young and old, Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above. Topics: New Year Languages: English

As with gladness men of old

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #50 (1893) Lyrics: 1 AS with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright: So, most gracious God, may we Evermore be led by Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lonely manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore: So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we, with holy joy, Pure, and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light: Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing Hallelujas to our King.
