Help us, O Lord! behold we enter
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #47 (1880) Topics: The Church Year 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 every plan and undertaking
This year be all begun with Thee,
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,
O suffer naught my heart to harden,
And let me then 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,
Thy 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 Jesus, be with me and direct me;
Jesus, my plans and hopes inspire;
Jesus, from tempting thoughts protect me;
Jesus, be all my heart’s desire;
Jesus, be in my thoughts all day
Nor suffer me to fall away.
6 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

O Lord, our Father, thanks to Thee
Author: Cyriacus Schneegass; Rev. August Crull Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #49 (1908) Topics: The Church Year New Year Lyrics: 1 O Lord our Father, thanks to Thee
In this new year we render,
For Thou hast been from misery
And evil our defender;
Thro' all the year that hath now fled
Hast given us our daily bread,
And peace within our borders.
2 Lord Jesus Christ, our thanks to Thee
In this new year we render,
For Thou still rulest zealously
Thy fold, with mercies tender;
Thou hast redeemed us with Thy blood,
Thou art our only Trust and Good:
In life and death our Savior.
3 Lord Holy Ghost, our thanks to Thee
In this new year we render,
For by Thy grace it is that we
Perceive Thy Word's pure splendor;
Thou hast infused, Lord, from above
Into our hearts true faith and love
And other Christian virtues.
4 Our faithful God, we cry to Thee:
Still bless us with Thy favor,
Blot out all our iniquity,
And hide our sins forever;
Grant us a happy, good New Year,
And when the hour of death draw near,
A blest departure. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SPERATUS

Thou Who Roll'st the Year Around
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #111 (1941) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Church Year New Year's Eve Lyrics: 1 Thou who roll’st the year around,
Crowned with mercies large and free,
Rich Thy gifts to us abound;
Warm our praise shall rise to Thee.
2 Kindly to our worship bow
While our grateful thanks we tell,
That, sustained by Thee, we now
Bid the parting year farewell.
3 All its numbered days are sped,
All its busy scenes are o’er,
All its joys forever fled,
All its sorrows felt no more.
4 Mingled with th’eternal past,
Its remembrance shall decay,
Yet to be revived at last
At the solemn Judgment Day.
5 All our follies, Lord, forgive;
Cleanse us from each guilty stain.
Let Thy grace within us live
That we spend not years in vain.
6 Then, when life’s last eve shall come,
Happy spirits, may we fly
To our everlasting home,
To our Father’s house on high!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90:12 Languages: English Tune Title: AUS DER TIEFE

The Old Year Now hath Passed Away
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Steuerlein Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #125 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: 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, foll'wing only Thee.
4 Oh, 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 Thine 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.

Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #208a (1958) Topics: The Church Year Advent; The Church Year Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day's return
Till thy mercy's beams I see;
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. A-men.
3 Visit then this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy divine,
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.

Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Why do the heathen rage?
Author: B. H. Kennedy Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #217 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Topics: The Church Year Sunday after New Year; The Church Year Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 Why do the heathen rage?
What are the nations dreaming?
In vain against the Lord
And His Anointed scheming,
Kings of the earth arise,
And leaguéd rulers say:
"Come, let us break their bands,
And cast their cords away."
2 He who is throned in heaven
Derides their preparation;
The Lord upon them pours
His scornful indignation:
Soon shall His voice of wrath
Their souls with terror thrill
"Yet I have set my King
On Zion's holy hill."--
3 Now will I cry aloud
And tell the Lord's great token:
"Thou art My Son," He saith:
To me the word was spoken:
"Yea, Thee have I this day
Begotten: ask of Me,
And Thine the heathen, Thine
Earth's utmost parts shall be:
4 Beneath Thine iron rod
Thy foemen shall be shattered,
As by the potter's hand
The broken shreds lie scattered."
Be wise, then, O ye kings,
Ye earthly judges, hear;
Serve ye the Lord with awe,
Rejoice with trembling fear.
5 Bow down and kiss the Son,
Lest, if His wrath awaken,
Ye fail and fade away,
For evermore forsaken.
Soon may His anger burn,
A lightly kindled flame;
Then blessed are all they
That trust His holy name. Tune Title: [Why do the heathen rage?]

And wakes the joy of Christendom;
Thy King, O Zion, comes to thee,
Rejoice, rejoice eternally!
Hallelujah!
2 Now in our midst anew are heard
The lessons of God's holy Word,
That lead the way to life and heav'n;
Lord, praise to Thee for this be giv'n!
Hallelujah!
3 Thy truth repeated o'er and o'er,
Our faith will strengthen more and more;
Let it abide in us, that we
May render endless praise to Thee.
Hallelujah!
