To my advantage grow.

For all things work for good.

To God, my soul returns.

Of being soon at home.

In glory I shall dwell.

No finite creature knows.

New Year's Day
Author: Robinson Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCCXVI (1792) Meter: Irregular Topics: Miscellaneous Hymns for Sundry Occasions First Line: Come, thou fount of every blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace!
Streams of mercy never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise:
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount!—O fix me on it,
Mount of God's unchanging love.
2 Here I raise mine Ebenezer,
Hither by thy help I'm come;
And I hope by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home:
Jesus sought me, when a stranger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God;
He to save my soul from danger,
Interpos'd with precious blood.
3 O! to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I'm constrain'd to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring heart to thee!
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love—
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it,
Seal it from thy courts above.
Scripture: Genesis 9:22 Languages: English

Kindly to share in other's joy,
And weep for other's woe.
3 When the most helpless sons of grief
In low distress are laid,

When thron'd above the skies;
And mid'st th' embraces of his God,
He felt compassion rise.

To raise us from the ground,
And shed the richest of his blood,
A balm for ev'ry wound. Scripture: Matthew 5:42 Languages: English

And calls them heirs of heav'n.

Blots out the childrens' name. Scripture: Matthew 18:3 Languages: English

Before thy Father's face.

My Saviour's voice is heard.

We in thy poor would see;

Than keep it back from thee. Scripture: Proverbs 3:27-28 Languages: English

He sees, he feels, he joys, he loves,
And all from intermission free.
