O God, beneath Thy guiding hand

Author: Rev. Leonard Bacon Hymnal: HPAG1933 #462 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God, beneath Thy guiding hand Our exiled fathers crossed the sea; And when they trod the wintry strand, With prayer and psalm they worshiped Thee. 2 Thou heardest, well pleased, the song, the prayer: Thy blessing came; and still its power Shall onward, through all ages, bear The memory of that holy hour. 3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God Came with those exiles o'er the waves; And, where their pilgrim feet have trod, The God they trusted guards their graves. 4 And here Thy Name, O God of love, Their children's children shall adore, Till these eternal hills remove, And spring adorns the earth no more. Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Thanksgiving and Harvest; Harvest and Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Refrain: All good gifts around us Are sent from heaven above; Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord For all His love. 2 He only is the Maker Of all things near and far; He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star; The winds and waves obey Him, By Him the birds are fed; Much more to us, His children, He gives our daily bread. [Refrain] 3 We thank Thee, then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seed-time and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food; No gifts have we to offer, For all Thy love imparts, But what Thou most desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky

Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: HPAG1933 #466 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night: Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. 2 Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. 3 Ring out old shapes of foul disease, Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. Amen.

Be this our joyous song, As on the King's own highway we bravely march along. From glory unto glory! O word of stirring cheer, As dawns the solemn brightness of another glad New Year! 2 The fullness of His blessing encompasseth our way; The fullness of His promises crowns every brightening day; The fullness of His glory is beaming from above, While more and more we learn to know the fullness of His love. 3 O let our adoration for all that He hath done Peal out beyond the stars of God, while voice and life are one; And let our consecration be real and deep and true, O even now our hearts shall bow and joyful vows renew. 4 Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go, While grace for grace abundantly shall from His fullness flow, To glory's full fruition, from glory's foretaste here, Until His very presence crown our happiest New Year.

All beautiful the march of days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Hymnal: HPAG1933 #471 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, As seasons come and go; The Hand that shaped the rose hath wrought The crystal of the snow; Hath sent the hoary frost of heaven, The flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness On hill and wood and field. 2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure The radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night Burn brighter through the cold; Life mounts in every throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth." 3 O Thou from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Thyself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day doth utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of Thy Name.
