Eternal Source of every joy
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #620 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of every joy,
Well may Thy praise our lips employ,
While in Thy temple we appear,
Whose goodness crowns the circling year.
2 The flowery spring, at Thy command,
Embalms the air, and paints the land;
The summer rays with vigour shine,
To raise the corn, and cheer the vine.
3 Thy hand in autumn richly pours
Through all our coasts redundant stores;
And winters, softened by Thy care,
No more a face of horror wear.
4 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days,
Demand successive songs of praise;
Still be the cheerful homage paid
With opening light, and evening shade.
5 Here in Thy house shall incense rise
As circling Sabbaths bless our eyes;
Still will we make Thy mercies known
Around Thy board, and round our own.
6 O may our more harmonious tongue
In worlds unknown pursue the song;
And in those brighter courts adore,
Where days and years revolve no more. Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
Eternal Source of every joy
Sing to the Lord of harvest!
Author: Dr. John S. Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #630 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest!
Sing songs of love and praise!
With joyful hearts and voices
Your hallelujahs raise;
By Him the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move;
Sing to the Lord of harvest
A song of happy love.
2 By Him the clouds drop fatness,
The deserts bloom and spring,
The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing;
He filleth with His fulness
All things with large increase,
He crowns the year with goodness,
With plenty, and with peace.
3 Heap on His sacred altar
The gifts His goodness gave,
The golden sheaves of harvest,
The souls He died to save;
Your hearts lay down before Him
When at His feet ye fall,
And with your lives adore Him
Who gave His life for all.
4 To God, the gracious Father,
Who made us "very good,"
To Christ, who, when we wandered,
Restored us with His blood,
And to the Holy Spirit,
Who doth upon us pour
His blessed dews and sunshine,
Be praise for evermore! Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLAND
Sing to the Lord of harvest!
Fountain of mercy, God of love
Author: Mrs. Alice Flowerdew, 1759-1801 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #631 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Fountain of mercy, God of love,
How rich Thy bounties are!
The rolling seasons, as they move,
Proclaim Thy constant care.
2 When in the bosom of the earth
The sower hid the grain,
Thy goodness marked its secret birth,
And sent the early rain.
3 The spring's sweet influence, Lord, was Thine;
The plants in beauty grew;
Thou gav'st refulgent suns to shine,
And the refreshing dew.
4 These various mercies from above
Matured the swelling grain;
A kindly harvest crowns Thy love,
And plenty fills the plain.
5 We own and bless Thy gracious sway;
Thy hand all nature hails;
Seed-time nor harvest, night nor day,
Summer nor winter, fails. Languages: English Tune Title: FINGAL
Fountain of mercy, God of love
Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #633 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou hast sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children lost and lone.
2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.
3 O strengthen me, that while I stand
Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
5 O give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.
6 O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord,
Until my very heart o'erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
7 O use me, Lord, use even me
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where,
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share. Languages: English Tune Title: NIGHTFALL
Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
Eternal Father! who can tell
Author: R. Dawson, 1836- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #617 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! who can tell
The years of Thy right hand?
Like sunbeams bright, but numberless,
Or as the ocean's sand.
2 Thine ageless age no limit knows,
No dawn began Thy day,
Nor evening shade shall ever fall
Upon Thy glorious way.
3 All time is but a fleeting wave
Upon Thy calm, deep sea,
A fading leaf that feebly falls
From Life's Eternal Tree.
4 Yet unto Thee our fleeting years,
Our fading days, are known,
And every hour its message bears
To the eternal Throne.
5 Into the hand of Him who died,
Who evermore doth live,
This strange and solemn New Year's path
In trustful prayer we give.
6 Enough for us to hear His voice,
To feel His guiding hand,
To know each step is bringing us
Nearer the Better Land. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT
Eternal Father! who can tell
The old year's long campaign is o'er
Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #618 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 The old year's long campaign is o'er;
Behold a new begun;
Not yet is closed the holy war,
Not yet the triumph won.
Out of his still and deep repose
We hear the old year say:
"Go forth again to meet your foes,
Ye children of the day.
2 "Go forth! firm faith on every heart,
Bright hope on every helm,
Through that shall pierce no fiery dart,
And this no fear o'erwhelm.
Go in the spirit and the might
Of Him who led the way;
Close with the legions of the night,
Ye children of the day."
3 So forth we go to meet the strife,
We will not fear nor fly;
We love the holy warrior's life,
His death we hope to die.
We slumber not, this charge in view,
"Toil on, while toil ye may,
Then night shall be no night to you,
Ye children of the day."
4 Lord God, our Glory, Three in One,
Thine own sustain, defend;
And give, though dim this earthly sun,
Thy true light to the end;
Till morning tread the darkness down,
And night be swept away,
And infinite sweet triumph crown
The children of the day. Languages: English Tune Title: AMBERLEY
The old year's long campaign is o'er
Sing to the great Jehovah's praise!
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #619 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Sing to the great Jehovah's praise!
All praise to Him belongs;
Who kindly lengthens out our days,
Demands our choicest songs.
2 His providence hath brought us through
Another various year;
We all with vows and anthems new
Before our God appear.
3 Father, Thy mercies past we own,
Thy still continued care;
To Thee presenting, through Thy Son,
Whate'er we have or are.
4 Our lips and lives shall gladly show
The wonders of Thy love,
While on in Jesus' steps we go
To see Thy face above.
5 Our residue of days or hours
Thine, wholly Thine, shall be,
And all our consecrated powers
A sacrifice to Thee:
6 Till Jesus in the clouds appear
To saints on earth forgiven,
And bring the grand sabbatic year
The Jubilee of heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: EVANGELIST
Sing to the great Jehovah's praise!
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #621 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
2 Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
3 Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
4 Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
5 Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
6 Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be. Languages: English Tune Title: HALLEY
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
Father, let me dedicate
Author: L. Tuttiett, 1825-1897 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #622 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions 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,
Nor withholdest aught that may
Glorify Thy name.
3 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.
4 If in mercy Thou wilt spare
Joys that yet are mine;
If on life, serene and fair,
Brighter rays may shine;
Let my glad heart, while it sings,
Thee in all proclaim,
And, whate'er the future brings,
Glorify Thy name. Languages: English Tune Title: FATHER, LET ME DEDICATE
Father, let me dedicate
Come, let us anew our journey pursue
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #623 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Come, let us anew our journey pursue,
Roll round with the year,
And never stand still till the Master appear.
2 His adorable will let us gladly fulfil,
And our talents improve,
By the patience of hope, and the labour of love.
3 Our life is a dream; our time, as a stream,
Glides swiftly away;
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
4 O that each in the day of His coming may say,
"I have fought my way through;
I have finished the work Thou didst give me to do."
5 O that each from his Lord may receive the glad word,
"Well and faithfully done!
Enter into My joy, and sit down on My throne." Languages: English Tune Title: DERBE
Come, let us anew our journey pursue
