The year is gone, beyond recall

Author: Anonymous; Francis Pott, 1832-1909 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #95 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year New Year Lyrics: 1 The year is gone, beyond recall, 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.

For thy mercy and thy grace

With thy rod and staff, O God, comfort thou his dying bed. 4 Make us faithful, keep us pure, keep us evermore thine own, help, O help us to endure, fit us for thy promised crown. 5 So within thy palace gate we shall praise, on golden strings, thee the only Potentate, Lord of lords, and King of kings.

Thy life was given for me

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #70 (2010) Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Christmas Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: 'Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven's all-gracious King!' the world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled; and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world: above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing; and ever o'er its Babel-sounds the blessèd angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the angel-strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and man, at war with man, hears not the love-song which they bring: O hush the noise, ye men of strife, and hear the angels sing. 4 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow, look, now! For glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. 5 For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophet-bards foretold, when, with the ever-circling years, comes round the age of gold; when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendours fling, and the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing.

Father, let me dedicate

Author: Lawrence Tuttiet, 1825-1897 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #94 (2010) Meter: 7.5.7.5.7.5.7.5 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year New Year Lyrics: 1 Father, let me dedicate all this year to thee, in whatever worldly state thou wilt have me be: not from sorrow, pain or care freedom dare I claim; this alone shall be my prayer: glorify thy name. 2 Can a child presume to choose where or how to live? Can a father's love refuse all the best to give? More thou givest every day than the best can claim, not withholdest aught that may glorify your name. 3 If in mercy you prolong Joys that now are mine, If on life serene and fair Brighter rays may shine, Let my glad heart, while it sings, You in all proclaim and, whate'er the future brings, glorify thy name. 4 If thou callest to the cross, and its shadow come, turning all my gain to loss, shrouding heart and home; let me think how thy dear Son to his glory came, and in deepest woe pray on, 'glorify thy name.'

Sjaa, Heidningar leggja mot Herren Raad

Author: Blix Hymnal: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg #661 (1897) Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 Sjaa, Heidningar leggja mot Herren Raad, Og Kongar mot Kristus rasa. Men Herren han lær aat deira Daad, Han kann deim som Krusty knasa. 2 Vaar Frelsar maa sara til framandt Land, Av Fienden trengd og trugad. Han ikkje ein Heim paa Jordi fann, For Verdi paa Vondt var hugad. 3 Han flydde fyr Meinraad og Mordarsverd, Som dei mot hans Hjarta vende. Slikt røynde han av ei syndug Verd, Som ikkje sin Frelsar kjende. 4 Men Gud honom friad fraa Fiends Hand Og honom sin Engel sende, Og atter ifraa Ægyptarland Han heim i Guds time vende. 5 Min Jesus, eg ferdaft paa Jord som Gjest Og ikkje meg heime kjenner. Til Himmelen er mitt Hjarta fest, Og Heimhugen i meg brenner. 6 Det Vonde, du leid i ditt Jordlivs Stand, Det likeins ditt Folk maa lida. Her fara me gjenom Fiendland Og maa fyre Livet strida. 7 Og Verdi oss aldri vil kannast ved, For Hermerket ditt me bera. Og skulde ho med oss halda Fred, Me maatte av Verdi vera. 8 Aa Herre, lat aldri oss fara villt Og Hugen til Verdi venda! For daa er vaar Von um Siger spillt. Lat aldri so vondt oss henda! 9 So fer eg paa Jord som ein framand Mann Og trutt paa mi Heimferd ventar, Til eingong du or Ægyptarland Til Kanaan heim meg hentar. Languages: Nynorsk

When the Virgin, full of grace, by the Holy Ghost conceiving, bore the Saviour of our race, and the Babe, the world's Redeemer, first revealed his sacred face, evermore and evermore. 4 O ye heights of heaven, adore him; angel-hosts, his praises sing; powers, dominions, bow before him and extol our God and King; let no tongue on earth be silent, every voice in concert ring evermore and evermore. 5 This is he whom seers and sages sang of old with one accord; whom the writings of the Prophets promised in their faithful word; now he shines, the long-expected: let creation praise its Lord, evermore and evermore. *6 Hail, thou Judge of souls departed! Hail, thou King of them that live! On the Father's throne exalted none in might with thee may strive; who at last in judgement coming sinners from thy face shalt drive, evermore and evermore. 7 Now let old and young men's voices join with boys' thy name to sing, matrons, virgins, little maidens in glad voices answering; let their guileless songs re-echo, and the heart its praises bring, evermore and evermore. 8 Christ, to thee, with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost, to thee, hymn and chant and high thanksgiving and unwearied praises be, honour, glory, and dominion, and eternal victory, evermore and evermore.
