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. Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS

Author: Henry Downton, 1818-1885 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #93 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year New Year Lyrics: 1 For thy mercy and thy grace,
faithful through another year,
hear our song of thankfulness;
Jesus, our Redeemer, hear.
2 In our weakness and distress,
rock of strength, be thou our stay;
in the pathless wilderness
be our true and living Way.
3 Who of us death's awful road
in the coming year shall tread?
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,

Thy life was given for me
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #146 (2010) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Passion and Holy Week Lyrics: 1 Thy life was given for me,
thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
that I might ransomed be,
and quickened from the dead;
thy life was given for me;
what have I given for thee?
2 Long years were spent for me
in weariness and woe,
that through eternity
thy glory I might know;
long years were spent for me;
have I spent one for thee?
3 Thy Father's home of light,
thy rainbow-circled throne,
were left for earthly night,
for wanderings sad and lone;
yea, all was left me;
have I left aught for thee?
4 Thou, Lord, hast borne for me
more than my tongue can tell
of bitterest agony,
to rescue me from hell;
thou sufferedst all for me;
what have I borne for thee?
5 And thou hast brought to me
down from thy home above
salvation full and free,
thy pardon and thy love;
great gifts thou broughtest me;
what have I brought to thee?
6 O let my life be given
my years for thee be spent;
world-fetters all be riven,
and joy with suff'ring blent:
thou gavest thyself for me,
I give myself to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: BACA

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. Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL
It came upon the midnight clear
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.' Languages: English Tune Title: FATHER LET ME DEDICATE

Slikt røynde han av ei syndug Verd,

O Christ, Redeemer of our race
Author: Anonymous; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #79 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Christmas Lyrics: 1 O Christ, Redeemer of our race,
thou brightness of the Father’s face,
of him, and with him ever one,
ere times and seasons had begun;
2 thou art that very Light of light,
unfailing hope in sin’s dark night,
hear thou the prayers thy people pray,
The wide world o’er, this blessèd day.
3 Remember, Lord of life and grace,
how once, to save a ruined race,
thou didst our very flesh assume
in Mary’s undefilèd womb.
4 Today, as year by year its light
sheds o’er the world a radiance bright,
one precious truth is echoed on,
’tis thou hast saved us, thou alone.
5 Thou from the Father’s throne didst come
to call his banished children home;
and heav’n, and earth, and sea, and shore
his love who sent thee here adore.
6 And gladsome too are we today,
whose guilt thy blood has washed away;
redeemed the new-made song we sing;
it is the birthday of our King.
7 O Lord, the virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Ghost forevermore. Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH (ERFURT)

Alleluia, song of sweetness
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #96 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, song of sweetness,
voice of joy that cannot die;
alleluia is the anthem
ever dear by choirs on high;
in the house of God abiding
thus they sing eternally.
2 Alleluia, thou resoundest,
true Jerusalem and free;
alleluia, joyful mother,
all thy children sing with thee;
but by Babylon's sad waters
mourning exiles still are we.
3 Alleluia cannot always
be our song while here below;
alleluia our transgressions
make us for a while forgo;
for the solemn time is coming
when our tears for sin shall flow.
4 Therefore in our hymns we pray thee,
grant us, blessèd Trinity,
at the last to keep glad Easter

Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle

1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle,
sing the last, the dread affray;
o'er the cross, the Victor's trophy,
sound the high triumphal lay,
how, the pains of death enduring,
earth's Redeemer won the day.
2 When at length the appointed fullness
of the sacred time was come,
he was sent, the world's Creator,
from the Father's heavenly home,
and was found in human fashion
offspring of the Virgin's womb.
3 Now the thirty years are ended
which on earth he willed to see,
willingly he meets his passion,
born to set his people free;
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
there the sacrifice to be.
4 There the nails and spear he suffers,
vinegar and gall and reed;
from his sacred body piercèd
blood and water both proceed:
precious flood, which all creation
from the stain of sin hath freed.
PART TWO:
5 Faithful cross, above all other,
one and only noble tree,
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit thy peer may be;
sweet the wood, and sweet the iron,
and thy load, most sweet is he.
6 Bend, O lofty tree, thy branches,
thy too rigid sinews bend;
and awhile the stubborn hardness,
which thy birth bestowed, suspend;
and the limbs of heaven's high Monarch
gently on thine arms extend.
7 Thou alone wast counted worthy
this world's ransom to sustain,
that a shipwrecked race for ever
might a port of refuge gain,
with the sacred blood anointed
of the Lamb for sinners slain.

Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,

Thus spake the dying lips to dying ears;
O faith, which in that darkest hour could see
the promised glory of the far-off years!
2 No kingly sign declares that glory now,
no ray of hope lights up that awful hour;
a thorny crown surrounds the bleeding brow,
the hands are stretched in weakness, not in power.
3 Hark! Through the gloom the dying Saviour saith,
'thou too shalt rest in paradise today:'
O words of love to answer words of faith!
O words of hope for those who live to pray!
4 Lord, when with dying lips my prayer is said,
grant that in faith thy Kingdom I may see;
and, thinking on thy cross and bleeding head,
may breathe my parting words, 'remember me.'
*5 Remember me, but not my shame or sin;
thy cleansing blood hath washed them all away;
thy precious death for me did pardon win;
thy blood redeemed me in that awful day.
6 Remember me; and, ere I pass away,
speak thou the assuring word that sets us free,
and make thy promise to my heart, 'Today
thou too shalt rest in paradise with me.' Scripture: Luke 23:43 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,
endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won.
3 No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is nought without thee: aid us in our strife;

hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own:
awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King

2 Crown him the Virgin's Son,
the God incarnate born,
whose arm those crimson trophies won
which now his brow adorn:
fruit of the mystic Rose,
as of that Rose the Stem;
the Root whence mercy ever flows,
the Babe of Bethlehem.
3 Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
those wounds yet visible above
in beauty glorified:
no angel in the sky
can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends his burning eye
at mysteries so bright.
4 Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease,
and all be prayer and praise:
his reign shall know no end,
and round his piercèd feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
5 Crown him the Lord of years,
the Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
ineffably sublime:
all hail, Redeemer, hail,
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity. Scripture: Revelation 19:12 Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Trugen i ditt Hjarta skiva,
Skal du aldri undan driva:

Enno i Aar med Andens Kraft!
Kvar Grein, som visnad maatte vera,
Fyll henne du med Livsens Saft!
Send ut din Ande, Naade giv
Til Vokster, Frukt og heilagt Liv! Languages: Nynorsk
Eit Aar me sjaa no atter renna
Min Jesus, som er so hjartegod
Author: Blix Hymnal: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg #660 (1897) Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Sunday after New Year Lyrics: 1 Min Jesus, som er so hjartegod,
At fyr dine fallne Brøder
Du døyande gav ditt Hjarteblod,
Der Livet fyr alle fløder:
Kor skulde daa alle elska deg,
Sommot deim av Kjærleik gløder!
2 Med Fred fraa din Fader kom du ned,
Med Sæla fyr Sorg og Kvida,
Men aldri du fekk paa Jordi Fred,
Men maatte til Blodet strida.
Og alt ifraa du i vogga laag,
I Verdi du Vondt fekk lida.
3 For aldri so snart du var paa Jord,
Fyrr Vondt dei deg vilde gjera.
Dei lura med løynraad paa ditt Mord,
Men Englarne Bod deg bera, –
Og driven ifraa ditt Fedraland
Du tidleg maa heimlaus vera.
4 All Himmelen er din Eigedom,
Guds Englar til Fot deg falla.
Paa Jordi du eig daa inkje Rom,
Der Hovudet du kann halla.
Og fredlaus du gjeng til framandt Land,
Til Gud vil dg atter kalla.
5 So døydde Herodes Englen kvad,
At Utlegdi var til Ende.
Men endaa din eigen Fedrastad
I Vantru seg mot deg vende.
Og jamvel av Frendar møtt med Hat,
Du framand paa Jord deg kjende.
6 Aa Jesus, som du eg her paa Jord
Som framand til Himmels stundar.
Aa send meg ein Engel med eit Ord
Til Heimlov, fyrr her eg blundar!
Og lat honom so meg leida heim
Der upp i dei ljose Lundar! Languages: Nynorsk
Min Jesus, som er so hjartegod
