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.

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.

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.'

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.

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.'
