now may Israel truly say;
through great trials God has brought us
to the dawn of this new day.
All God's children,

hungry, thirsty, faint of heart,
God prepared for them a city,
gave them hope and took their part.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
3 Those who steer their ships through trouble,
ride the storm and plumb the deep,
reach at length their promised haven,
bless that grace which brings them sleep.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
4 Oh give thanks for all God's mercies:
fields are watered, crops are sown,
sheep and cattle fill the pastures,
babes in arms have safely grown.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.

enter every trembling heart.

let us find the promised rest;

Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith as its beginning,
set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy grace receive;
suddenly return and never,
never more thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
4 Finish then thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love and praise.

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXCI (1790) Topics: New Year's Day First Line: While with ceaseless course the sun Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun
Hasted thro' the former year,
Many souls their race have run,
Never more to meet us here:
Fix'd 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 ligh'tning 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.

For long has been our sorrow’s night;
Afflicted through the weary years,
We wait until Thy help appears;

The beauty of the Lord our God;
The work accomplished by our hand
Establish Thou, and make it stand;
Yea, let our hopeful labor be
Established evermore by Thee.

All Beautiful the March of Days

As seasons come and go;
The hand that shaped the rose has wrought
The crystal of the snow,
Has 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 God, from whose unfathomed law
The year in beauty flows,
Yourself the vision passing by
In crystal and in rose,
Day unto day does utter speech,
And night to night proclaim,
In ever-changing words of light,
The wonder of your name.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 19 Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

O! bring us to that joyful Day,
When thou wilt wipe all Tears away.

Without th' Allay of Self and Sin.
