The Old Year Now Has Passed Away

Author: Johann Steurlein; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: CWLH1993 #71 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The old year now has passed away; We thank you, O our God, today That you have kept us through the year When danger and distress were near. 2 We pray you, O eternal Son, Who with the Father reigns as one, To guard and rule your Christendom Through all the ages yet to come. 3 Take not your saving Word away, Which lights and cheers our souls each day. Abide with us and keep us free From error and hypocrisy. 4 Oh, help us to forsake all sin, A new and holier life begin! Forgive the old year's sins, and bless The new year with true happiness, 5 Wherein as Christians we may live Or die in peace that you can give, To rise again when you will come And enter your eternal home. 6 There shall we thank you and adore With all the angels evermore. Lord Jesus Christ, increase our faith To praise your name through life and death. Topics: Name of Jesus/ Presentation; New Year Languages: English Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST, DICH ZU UNS WEND

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.

Our work will prosper never Unless he bless it ever. 4 To all who bow before you And for your grace implore you, Grant, Lord, your benediction And patience in affliction. 5 Be with the sick and ailing, Their Comforter unfailing; Dispel their grief and sadness, And give them joy and gladness! 6 Above all else, Lord, send us Your Spirit to attend us, Within our hearts abiding, To heav'n our footsteps guiding.

Father, Let Me Dedicate

Author: Lawrence Tuttiett, 1825-97 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #75 (1993) Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Lyrics: 1 Father, let me dedicate All this year to you, In whate'er my earthly state, In whate'er I do. Not from sorrow, pain, or care Freedom dare I claim; This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify your name. 2 Can a child presume to choose Where or how to live? Can a father's love refuse All the best to give? More you give me ev'ry day Than the best can claim; Help me trust you that I may Glorify your name. 3 If in mercy you prolong Joys that now are mine, If on life serene and fair Brighter rays may shine, Let my glad heart, while it sings, You in all proclaim And, whate'er the future brings, Glorify your name. 4 If you have for me a cross And its shadow come, Turning all my gain to loss, Shrouding heart and home, Let me think how your dear Son To his glory came And in deepest woe pray on: "Glorify your name."

Only name that's giv'n Under all the mighty heav'n Whereby all, to sin enslaved, Burst their fetters and are saved. 5 Jesus!

Today you still allow us Who gather round you here In arms of faith to hold you As did that aged seer. 3 Lord, when life's troubles touch us, You seem to hide your face, And through our tears we often Can scarcely sense your grace. Then be our joy and brightness, Our cheer in pain and loss, Our sun in darkest terror, The glory round our cross. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful Like Simeon to the end So that his prayer exultant May from our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let your servant Depart in peace, I pray, Since I have seen my Savior And here beheld his day."

In your blest body let me be, E'en as the branch is in the tree, Your life my life supplying. Sighing, Crying For the savor Of your favor Resting never Till I rest in you forever. 3 O mighty Father, in your Son You loved me ere you had begun This ancient world's foundation. Your Son has made a friend of me, And when in spirit him I see, I joy in tribulation. What bliss Is this! He is living, To me giving Life forever; Nothing me from him can sever. 4 Oh, joy to know that you, my Friend, Are Lord, beginning without end, The first and last, eternal! And you at length -- O glorious grace -- Will take me to that holy place, The home of joys supernal. Amen, Amen! Come and meet me, Quickly greet me! With deep yearning, Lord, I look for your returning. 5 Lift up the voice and strike the string, Let all glad sounds of music ring In God's high praises blended. Christ will be with me all the way, Today, tomorrow, ev'ry day Till trav'ling days are ended. Sing out, Ring out Triumph glorious, O victorious Chosen nation; Praise the God of your salvation.

Angels from the Realms of Glory

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: CWLH1993 #80 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Once you sang creation's story; Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 2 Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing -- Yonder shines the infant light. Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 3 Magi, leave your contemplations; Brighter visions beam afar. Seek the great desire of nations; You have seen the Savior's star. Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 4 Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In his temple shall appear. Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
