Why This Doleful Wail?

Author: Emma F. R. Campbell Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Why this doleful wail of sadness Lyrics: 1 Why this doleful wail of sadness, Every year, every year? Undertoning all our gladness, Every year, every year? Why at fleeting years so fretful, Of the dead past so regretful, Of the living now forgetful, Every year, every year? 2 Is not God in wisdom guiding Every year, every year? Though to us His purpose hiding, Every year, every year? Joy there is for every sorrow, For each night a bright tomorrow, From the past fresh strength we borrow, Every year, every year! 3 Faith and hope are growing stronger, Every year, every year. As the trodden way grows longer, Every year, every year. Left behind the paths most dreary, Passed the doubts that vex and weary, Brighter gleams the sunshine cheery, Every year, every year! 4 Fewer cares and lighter burdens, Every year, every year. Brighter hopes and truer guerdons, Every year, every year. Earthly joys may fade forever, Earthly ties to friends may sever, One there is more dear than ever, Every year, every year! 5 And the Father’s house is dearer, Every year, every year. And our lost ones coming nearer, Every year, every year. Less is there below to charm us, Less in growing old to harm us, Less do unknown days alarm us Every year, every year! 6 Let us cease then our repining, Every year, every year. And believe the Love o’ershining, Every year, every year. Nights behind us now forgetting, Onward press without regretting, To the morn that knows no setting, Blest New Year! Blest New Year!

Through the Blood

Author: J. H. Burridge Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: There is forgiveness, God doth say Lyrics: 1 There is forgiveness, God doth say, Thro’ the blood, Thro’ the blood; Both sin and guilt are put away, Thro’ the blood, Thro’ the blood; And sinners fitted for the sky, Yes, unto God Himself bro’t nigh, Made meet to dwell with Christ on high, Thro’ the blood, Thro’ the blood! 2 ‘Tis not your work puts sin away, But the blood, But the blood; Nor is it gold, God’s Word doth say, But the blood, But the blood; Yes, ‘tis the blood, the precious blood Of Christ, the chosen Lamb of God, That clears away sin’s heavy load: Precious blood, Precious blood! 3 You may be washed as white as snow In the blood, In the blood; And then to glory bright will go, Thro’ the blood, Thro’ the blood; So come to Christ; O come today! That you may praise—yes, praise for aye, The Lamb who washed your sins away In the blood, In the blood! 4 Thousands of souls in heav’n will be, Thro’ the blood, Thro’ the blood, Praising the Lamb, who on the tree Shed His blood, Shed His blood; All white and pure, all glorious fair, they praise the Lamb, whose joy they share; Oh, happy throng! will you be there Thro’ the blood, Thro’ the blood?
