Help us, O Lord! behold, we enter
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #43 (1893) Meter: 9.8 Topics: New Year 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. Languages: English

Who with the Father reign'st as one,
To guard and rule Thy Christendom
Through all the ages yet to come.

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.

With all the angels evermore;
Lord Jesus Christ, increase our faith
To praise Thy name through life and death.

Blot out all our iniquity,
And hide our sins forever;

with all its hopes and fears,
with all its bright and gladdening smiles,
with all its mourners’ tears;
2 thy thankful people praise thee, Lord,
for countless gifts received;
and pray for grace to keep the faith
which Saints of old believed.
3 To thee we come, O gracious Lord,
the new-born year to bless;
defend our land from pestilence;
hive peace and plenteousness;
4 forgive this nation’s many sins;
the growth of vice restrain;
and help us all with sin to strive,
and crowns of life to gain.
5 From evil deeds that stain the past
we now desire to flee;
and pray that future years may all
be spent, good Lord, for thee.
6 O Father, let thy watchful eye
still look on us in love,
that we may praise thee, year by year,
with angel-hosts above.
7 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
while endless ages run. Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS

The Coming Year
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Songs of Grace and Glory #135 (1918) Topics: New Year First Line: Standing at the portal of the coming year Refrain First Line: Onward then, and fear not Lyrics: 1 Standing at the portal of the coming year,
Words of comfort meet us, hushing ev’ry fear;
Spoken thro’ the silence by our Father’s voice,
Tender, strong and faithful, making us rejoice.
Refrain:
Onward, then, and fear not, Children of the day,
For His word shall never, never pass away.
Onward, then, and fear not, Children of the day,
For His word shall never, never pass away.
2 I, the Lord, am with thee, be thou not afraid;
I will help and strengthen, be thou not dismayed;
Yea, I will uphold thee with mine own right hand;
Thou art called the chosen, in my sight to stand. [Refrain]
3 For the year before us, oh, what rich supplies!
For the poor and needy living streams shall rise;
For the sad and sinful shall his grace abound;
For the faint and feeble perfect strength be found. [Refrain]
4 He will never fail us, he will not forsake;
And his precious promise he will never break;
Resting on the promise, what have we to fear?
God is all sufficient for the coming year. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 Tune Title: [Standing at the portal of the coming year]
