With this New Year we raise New Songs
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #9 (1732) Topics: New Year's Day Lyrics: I. With this New Year we raise New Songs,
To praise the Lord with Hearts and Tongues,
For his Support in Troubles past,
Wherewith our Life was overcast.
II. O! grant us, Jesu, Prince of Peace,
Thy constant Aid, thy constant Grace,
That we may, thro' the rolling Year,
Serve Thee with filial Love and Fear.
III. O! may we never lose thy Truth
(The Prop of Age, the Guard of Youth)
Keep from us superstitious Fears,
Banish false Doctrine from our Ears.
IV. Guard us, oh! guard us from all Sin:
And let us be renew'd within:
Of Errors past the Records rend,
O! Thou, whose Mercy knows no End.
V. Grant us to lead a holy Life.
And when we leave this World of Strive,
O! bring us to that joyful Day,
When thou wilt wipe all Tears away.
VI. Then shall thy Praise a-new begin,
Without th' Allay of Self and Sin.
Maintain, O Lord, our Faith and Love,
Till we behold thy Face above. Languages: English Tune Title: [With this New Year we raise New Songs]

Arise, My Soul, This New Year's Morning
Author: A. Timm Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #60 (1927) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: New Year Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, this New Year's Morning
And put away all doubt and fear;
To all who unto God are turning,
He gives His grace from year to year;
He who forever is the same,
Will hear thy pray'rs in Jesus' name.
2 When sunlight on thy path is falling,
Do not forget His love and care,
Nor shrink when He on Thee is calling
With fortitude thy cross to bear;
In gain or loss, in joy or blame,
Give thanks to Him in Jesus' name.
3 Oh, pray, my soul, lest thou shouldst wander
Away from God and lose His rest;
Pray that His voice from heaven yonder
May find a hearing in thy breast,
That thou, secure from sin and shame
May'st lead a life in Jesus' name.
4 Though earthly hopes and joys may vanish
And clouds may oft obscure the sun,
My trust in Him I will not banish,
But pray: O God, Thy will be done!
I will His love and grace proclaim
And live and die in Jesus' name.

A New Year’s Message
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Praise Book #226 (1906) Topics: New Year First Line: I asked the New Year for some motto sweet Lyrics: 1 I asked the New Year for some motto sweet,
Some rule of life with which to guide my feet;
I asked and paused; he answered soft and low,
“God’s will, God’s will to know,
God’s will to know.”
2 “Will knowledge then suffice, New Year?” I cried;
And ere the question into silence died,
The answer came, “Nay, but remember, too,
God’s will, God’s will to do,
God’s will to do.”
3 Once more I asked, “Is there no more to tell?”
And once again the answer sweetly fell:
“Yes, this one thing, all other things above,
God’s will, God’s will to love,
God’s will to love.” Tune Title: [I asked the New Year for some motto sweet]

Deceive and prove but care.

Of these loved haunts of men.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Voices United #806 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Year New Year; New Year; New Year Year ABC; New Year Year ABC Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2 under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages, in thy sight,
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time like an ever-rolling stream
soon bears us all away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guide while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Tune Title: ST. ANNE

with sparkling winter day!*
Your promise calls us here
to celebrate and pray,
through January's open door
to stride with hopeful step once more.
2 Come in, New Year, and sell
your wares of chance and change:
engage us with your spell
to risk and rearrange,
to feel the Spirit's impulse beat,
to follow down a different street.
3 For though December dies,
still Christmas keeps the light,
the hope in children's eyes,
the star that shatters night;
now Simeon and Anna see
the child who rules all time to be.
4 The calendar of Christ
will mark the seasons' turn;
his story claim our trust;
his love be ours to learn.
For all the world, for young and old,
we pray a year of peace unfold!

Hasted through the former year,

Speedily the mark to find;
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind,

Bear us down life's rapid stream;

All below is but a dream.

Pardon of our sins renew;

May we dwell with thee above! Languages: English Tune Title: BENEVENTO

New-Year Day
The old year now hath passed away
Author: Jacob Tapp? Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #207 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Year New Year; The Church Year New Year Lyrics: 1 The old year now hath passed away,
We thank Thee, O our God, today,
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 errors, following only Thee.
4 O help us to forsake all sin,
A new and holier course begin;
Mark not what once was done amiss,
A happier, better year be this:
5 Wherein as 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. Tune Title: [The old year now hath passed away]

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #292 (1883) Topics: New Year's Day Lyrics: 1 Now a new year opens,
Now we newly turn
To the Holy Saviour,
Lessons fresh to learn.
2 This is the holy lesson
On the year's first day,
Jesus by obedience
Teaches to obey.
3 Of Thy Cross thus early
Tokens Thou dost give;
By Thy wounds Thou healest,
By Thy death we live.
4 Not to suffer only,
Jesus, didst Thou come,
But to leave us way-marks
Pointing to our Home.
5 In Thy blessed footsteps
Ever may we tread,
Safe when keeping near Thee,
By Thy Spirit led.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: UPTON PYNE

Dear Father, let it be,
In working or in waiting,
Another year with Thee:
Another year of leaning
Upon Thy loving breast,
Another year of trusting,
Of quiet, happy rest.
2. Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace;
Another year of gladness
In the shining of Thy face.
Another year of progress,
Another year of praise,
Another year of proving
Thy presence all the days.
3. Another year of service,
Of witness for Thy love;
Another year of training
For holier work above.
Another year is dawning!
Dear Father, let it be
On earth, or else in heaven,
Another year for Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: EDENGROVE
