Onward then, and fear not
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #624 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions First Line: Standing at the portal Lyrics: 1 Standing at the portal
Of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing every fear;
Spoken through 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.
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 My own right hand;
Thou art called and chosen
In My sight to stand. [Refrain]
3 For the year before us,
O 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;
His eternal covenant
He will never break.
Resting on His promise,
What have we to fear?
God is all-sufficient
For the coming year. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: FYLDE

With loving hearts, O Lord, we bring
Author: Dr. A. D. Watson, 1859- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #625 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 With loving hearts, O Lord, we bring
The fragrant incense of the flowers,
And on the altar of our King
We consecrate our noblest powers.
2 The lily's pure and simple dress,
The daisy's innocence so fair,
Are emblems of Thy holiness,
The sweet reminders of Thy care.
3 The birds Thy matchless glory sing,
The fields are white with waving corn,
The breezes heavenly incense bring
From all the fertile valleys borne.
4 The earth is breathing back to thee
The odours of the perfect flowers;
May all our lives as fruitful be
Amid the sunshine and the showers.
5 Thy gracious power on us bestow
To do Thy will and love Thy word,
Till we in fuller measure show
The joy and beauty of the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE

The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's Almighty hand:
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
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.
Accept the gifts we offer,
For all Thy love imparts,
And, what Thou most desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: WIR PFLUGEN
All good gifts around us
We bid thee welcome in the name
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #632 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 We bid thee welcome in the name
Of Jesus, our exalted Head;
Come as a servant: so He came;
And we receive thee in His stead.
2 Come as a shepherd: guard and keep
This fold from hell and earth and sin;
Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep;
The wounded heal, the lost bring in.
3 Come as a watchman: take thy stand
Upon thy tower amidst the sky;
And when the sword comes on the land,
Call us to fight, or warn to fly.
4 Come as an angel, hence to guide
A band of pilgrims on their way;
That, safely walking at thy side,
We fail not, faint not, turn, nor stray.
5 Come as a teacher sent from God,
Charged His whole counsel to declare:
Life o'er our ranks the prophet's rod,
While we uphold thy hands with prayer.

When the orbs that people space
Sprang to earth beneath Thy feet.

Shed that wisdom's guiding light. Languages: English Tune Title: EPHRAIM

And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.

A length of happy days;
Riches, with splendid honours joined,
Are what her left displays.

In pleasure's paths to tread,
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.

So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Languages: English Tune Title: KILMARNOCK

Father, supreme, by whom we live
Author: Dr. E. H. Dewart, 1828-1903 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #636 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Father, supreme, by whom we live,
Thou who art God alone,
Our songs of grateful praise receive,
And make our hearts Thy throne.

The earth, the heavens above,
With one unceasing voice proclaim
Thy wisdom, power, and love.

With tokens of Thy skill;
But more for reason's sacred light
By which we read Thy will.

Through space at Thy decree,
Hast Thou bestowed the thinking soul,
To know and worship Thee.
5 May every science, every truth,
Our eager minds explore;
Lead us, alike in age and youth,
Thy wisdom to adore.
6 May those who teach, and those who learn,
Walk in the narrow road;
In every sphere of thought discern
An ever-present God. Languages: English Tune Title: WILTSHIRE

All pity, care, and love,
All calm and courage, faith and hope:
O pour them from above;
And part them, Lord, to each and all,
As each and all shall need,
To rise like incense, each to thee,
In noble thought and deed.
2 And hasten, Lord, that perfect day
When pain and death shall cease,
And Thy just rule shall fill the earth
With health, and light, and peace;
When ever blue the sky shall gleam,
And ever green the sod,
And man's rude work deface no more
The paradise of God. Languages: English Tune Title: LAND OF REST

Thy trusting people safely led,
On us, who in Thy work engage,
Thy Spirit's guiding influence shed.
2 As moon and stars their beams unite,
To gild and gladden every zone,
So blend Thy word and works their light,
To make Thy grace and glory known.
3 On those who sow in youthful minds
The seeds of harvests yet to be,
Bestow the living faith, which binds
The heart in loyal love to Thee.
4 Protect our youth from every foe,
And lead in paths of truth and peace;
As they in age and knowledge grow,
May faith and holiness increase
5 So to Thy Church, in wisdom taught,
May men of nobler life be given;
Until, by holy deed and thought,
This world is lifted nearer heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSION
O Thou who hast, in every age
