All beautiful the march of days
Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Hymnal: The Hymnal #471 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Special Seasons and Services The New Year Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days,
As seasons come and go;
The Hand that shaped the rose hath wrought
The crystal of the snow;
Hath sent the hoary frost of heaven,
The flowing waters sealed,
And laid a silent loveliness
On hill and wood and field.
2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure
The radiant morns unfold;
The solemn splendors of the night
Burn brighter through the cold;
Life mounts in every throbbing vein,
Love deepens round the hearth,
And clearer sounds the angel hymn,
"Good will to men on earth."
3 O Thou from whose unfathomed law
The year in beauty flows,
Thyself the vision passing by
In crystal and in rose,
Day unto day doth utter speech,
And night to night proclaim,
In ever-changing words of light,
The wonder of Thy Name.
Amen. Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
All beautiful the march of days
O Thou, whose hand has brought us
Author: Rev. Frederick William Goadby Hymnal: The Hymnal #473 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Special Seasons and Services Laying of a Corner Stone Lyrics: 1 O Thou, whose hand hath brought us
Unto this joyful day,
Accept our glad thanksgiving,
And listen as we pray;
And may our preparation
For this day’s service be
With one accord to offer
Ourselves, O Lord, to Thee.
2 For this Thy house we praise Thee,
Reared at Thine own command,
For every generous bosom,
And every willing hand;
And now within Thy temple
Thy glory let us see,
For all its strength and beauty
Are nothing without Thee.
3 And oft as here we gather,
And hearts in worship blend,
May truth reveal its power,
And fervent prayers ascend;
Here may the busy toiler
Rise to the things above;
The young, the old, be strengthened,
And all men learn Thy love.
Amen. Tune Title: DAY OF REST
O Thou, whose hand has brought us
O Thou whose glory shone like fire
Author: George A. Warburton Hymnal: The Hymnal #477 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Church Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose glory shone like fire,
Within the ancient Temple walls,
Grant us our heart's sincere desire:
Thy presence in these sacred halls.
2 O Thou who, homeless, wandered wide,
Through far Judea's favored land,
Make this a home for men, and guide
The steps of all with Thy strong hand.
3 O Thou who, sorrowing in the night,
Longed for the love of human friend,
Make here a spring of friendship bright
With Thy rich love that knows no end.
4 O Thou whose life and words were one,
Strong, manly, holy, and divine,
Here may our fellow men be shown
How all may live a life like Thine.

O Thou whose glory shone like fire
All nature's works His praise declare
Author: Rev. Henry Ware, Jr. Hymnal: The Hymnal #478 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Organ Lyrics: 1 All nature's works His praise declare,
To whom they all belong;
There is a voice in every star,
In every breeze a song.
Sweet music fills the world abroad
With strains of love and power;
The stormy sea sings praise to God,
The thunder and the shower.
2 To God the tribes of ocean cry,
And birds upon the wing;
To God the powers that dwell on high
Their tuneful tribute bring.
Like them, let man the throne surround,
With them loud chorus raise,
While instruments of loftier sound
Assist his feeble praise.
3 Great God, to Thee we consecrate
Our voices and our skill;
We bid the pealing organ wait
To speak alone Thy will.
Lord, while the music round us floats
May earth-born passions die;
O grant its rich and swelling notes
May lift our souls on high!
Amen. Tune Title: BETHLEHEM
All nature's works His praise declare
Let children hear the mighty deeds
Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Hymnal #479 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Memorial Gifts Lyrics: 1 Let children hear the mighty deeds
Which God performed of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.
2 He bids us make His glories known,
His works of power and grace;
And we'll convey His wonders down
Through each succeeding race.
3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs;
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.
4 Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne'er forget His works,
But practice His commands.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 78 Tune Title: DUNDEE
Let children hear the mighty deeds
Founded on Thee, our only Lord
Author: Rev. Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Hymnal #474 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Church Lyrics: 1 Founded on Thee, our only Lord,
On Thee, the everlasting Rock,
Thy Church shall stand as stands Thy word,
Nor fear the storm, nor dread the shock.
2 For Thee our waiting spirits yearn,
For Thee this house of praise we rear;
To Thee with longing hearts we turn;
Come, fix Thy glorious presence here.
3 Come, with Thy Spirit and Thy power,
The Conqueror, once the Crucified;
Our God, our Strength, our King, our Tower,
Here plant Thy throne, and here abide.
4 Accept the work our hands have wrought;
Accept, O God, this earthly shrine;
Be Thou our Rock, our Life, our Thought,
And we, as living temples, Thine.
Amen. Tune Title: MENDON
Founded on Thee, our only Lord
All things are Thine; no gift have we
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Hymnal: The Hymnal #475 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Church Lyrics: 1 All things are Thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer Thee;
And hence with grateful hearts today,
Thine own before Thy feet we lay.
2 Thy will was in the builders' thought;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
Through mortal motive, scheme and plan,
Thy wise eternal purpose ran.
3 In weakness and in want we call
On Thee for whom the heavens are small;
Thy glory is Thy children's good,
Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood.
4 O Father, deign these walls to bless;
Fill with Thy love their emptiness;
And let their door a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST
All things are Thine; no gift have we
Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands
Author: William Cullen Bryant Hymnal: The Hymnal #476 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Church Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands,
Built over earth and sea,
Accept the walls that human hands
Have raised, O God, to Thee.
2 And let the Comforter and Friend,
Thy Holy Spirit, meet
With those who here in worship bend
Before Thy mercy seat.
3 May they who err be guided here
To find the better way;
And they who mourn, and they who fear,
Be strengthened as they pray.
4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
And hallowed wishes rise,
While round these peaceful walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. ANNE

In grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee,
We bless Thy holy Name, glad praises we sing.
2 We worship Thee, God of our fathers, we bless Thee;
Through life's storm and tempest our Guide hast Thou been.
When perils o'ertake us, escape Thou wilt make us,
And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win.

To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise.
Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us,
To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.
Amen. Tune Title: KREMSER
We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator
Break, new-born year, on glad eyes break
Author: Thomas H. Gill Hymnal: The Hymnal #469 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Special Seasons and Services The New Year Lyrics: 1 Break, new-born year, on glad eyes break,
Melodious voices move:
On, rolling time! Thou canst not make
The Father cease to love.
2 The parted year had winged feet;
The Saviour still doth stay:
The new year comes; but, Spirit sweet,
Thou goest not away.
3 Our hearts in tears may oft run o'er;
But, Lord, Thy smile still beams:
Our sins are swelling evermore,
But pardoning grace still streams.

More glory, more delight:
O make it hours less sad with sin,
Its days with Thee more bright!

God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons
Author: Rev. Dennis Wortman Hymnal: The Hymnal #481 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Installations: Pastor Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons;
Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast;
Each age its solemn task may claim but once;
Make each one nobler, stronger than the last.
2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent
To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake
To human need; their lips make eloquent
To gird the right and every evil break.
3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they
For pardon, and for charity and peace!
O that with them might pass the world, astray,
Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice!
4 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross,
Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace;
Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss,
And stand at last with joy before Thy face.
Amen. Tune Title: TOULON
God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons
Come, my soul, thou must be waking
Author: Rev. Henry J. Buckoll; F. R. L. von Canitz Hymnal: The Hymnal #487 (1950) Meter: 8.4.7.8.4.7 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Schools and Colleges Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thou must be waking;
Now is breaking
O'er the earth another day:
Come to Him who made this splendor;
See thou render
All thy feeble powers can pay.
2 Thou, too, hail the light returning;
Ready burning
Be the incense of thy powers;
For the night is safely ended,
God hath tended
With His care thy helpless hours.
3 Pray that He may prosper ever
Each endeavor,
When thine aim is good and true;
But that He may ever thwart thee,
And convert thee,
When thou evil wouldst pursue.
4 Only God's free gifts abuse not,
Light refuse not,
But His Spirit's voice obey;
Thou with Him shalt dwell, beholding
Light enfolding
All things in unclouded day.
Amen. Tune Title: COLUMBIA COLLEGE
Come, my soul, thou must be waking
Be strong!
Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: The Hymnal #488 (1950) Meter: 2.10.10.10 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Schools and Colleges Lyrics: 1 Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle, face it, ’tis God’s gift.
2 Be strong!
Say not the days are evil— who’s to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce— O shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s Name.
3 Be strong!
It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day, how long;
Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song.
Amen. Tune Title: SONG 24
Be strong!

With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom His world rejoices;

Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
2 O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.

Come, ye thankful people, come
Author: Rev. Henry Alford Hymnal: The Hymnal #460 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Special Seasons and Services Thanksgiving and Harvest Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown;
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day
All offenses purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest home;
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.

Come, ye thankful people, come
O God, beneath Thy guiding hand
Author: Rev. Leonard Bacon Hymnal: The Hymnal #462 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Thanksgiving and Harvest Lyrics: 1 O God, beneath Thy guiding hand
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worshiped Thee.
2 Thou heardest, well pleased, the song, the prayer:
Thy blessing came; and still its power
Shall onward, through all ages, bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves;
And, where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.
4 And here Thy Name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.
Amen. Tune Title: DUKE STREET

To mature the swelling grain;
For His mercies still endure,

Crops of precious increase yield;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

And blest Spirit, Three in One!

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: The Hymnal #466 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Special Seasons and Services The New Year 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.
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.
2 Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
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.
3 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.
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.
Amen. Tune Title: JORDAN
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
