The old year now hath passed away

Author: Jacob Tapp; Johannes Steurlein; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #45 (1908) Topics: The Church Year New Year; New Year's Day Lyrics: 1 The old year now hath passed away, We thank Thee, O our God! to-day, That Thou has kept us thro' the year, When danger and distress were near. 2 We pray Thee, O Eternal Son, Who with the Father reign’st as One, To guard and rule Thy Christendom Through all the ages yet to come. 3 Take not Thy saving Word away, Our souls’ true comfort, staff, and stay; Abide with us and keep us free From errors, foll'wing only Thee. 4 O help us to forsake all sin, A new and holier course begin; Mark not what once was done amiss, A happier, better year be this: 5 Wherein as Christians we may live, Or die in peace that Thou canst give, To rise again when Thou shalt come, And enter our eternal home. 6 There shall we thank Thee, and adore, With all the angels evermore; Lord Jesus Christ, increase our faith To praise Thy Name through life and death.

The year begins with Thee

Author: John Keble Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #44 (1908) Topics: The Church Year New Year; New Year's Day Lyrics: 1 The year begins with Thee, And Thou begin'st with woe, To let the world of sinners see That blood for sin must flow. 2 Thine infant cries, O Lord, Thy tears upon the breast, Are not enough,--the legal sword Must do its stern behest. 3 Am I a child of tears, Cradled in care and woe? And seems it hard my vernal years Few vernal joys can show? 4 Seemeth it strange to me My own will to deny? Seemeth it sad, my soul, to thee, Under the yoke to lie? 5 I look, and hold my peace: The Giver of all good E'en from the womb takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 6 That I may reap in love, Help me to sow in fear: So life a winter's morn may prove To a bright, endless year.

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
