Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #621 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions 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.
2 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.
3 Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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. Languages: English Tune Title: HALLEY

Father, let me dedicate
Author: L. Tuttiett, 1825-1897 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #622 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions 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,
Nor withholdest aught that may
Glorify Thy name.
3 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.
4 If in mercy Thou wilt spare
Joys that yet are mine;
If on life, serene and fair,
Brighter rays may shine;
Let my glad heart, while it sings,
Thee in all proclaim,
And, whate'er the future brings,
Glorify Thy name. Languages: English Tune Title: FATHER, LET ME DEDICATE
Father, let me dedicate
Come, let us anew our journey pursue
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #623 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Come, let us anew our journey pursue,
Roll round with the year,
And never stand still till the Master appear.
2 His adorable will let us gladly fulfil,
And our talents improve,
By the patience of hope, and the labour of love.
3 Our life is a dream; our time, as a stream,
Glides swiftly away;
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
4 O that each in the day of His coming may say,
"I have fought my way through;
I have finished the work Thou didst give me to do."
5 O that each from his Lord may receive the glad word,
"Well and faithfully done!
Enter into My joy, and sit down on My throne." Languages: English Tune Title: DERBE

Of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing every fear;
Spoken through the silence
By our Father's voice,
Tender, strong, and faithful,
Making us rejoice.
Refrain:
Onward, then, and fear not,
Children of the day;
For His word shall never,
Never pass away.
2 I, the Lord, am with thee,
Be thou not afraid;
I will help and strengthen,
Be thou not dismayed:
Yea, I will uphold thee
With My own right hand;
Thou art called and chosen
In My sight to stand. [Refrain]
3 For the year before us,
O what rich supplies!
For the poor and needy
Living streams shall rise;
For the sad and sinful
Shall His grace abound;
For the faint and feeble
Perfect strength be found. [Refrain]
4 He will never fail us,
He will not forsake;
His eternal covenant
He will never break.
Resting on His promise,
What have we to fear?
God is all-sufficient
For the coming year. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: FYLDE

The fragrant incense of the flowers,
And on the altar of our King
We consecrate our noblest powers.
2 The lily's pure and simple dress,
The daisy's innocence so fair,
Are emblems of Thy holiness,
The sweet reminders of Thy care.
3 The birds Thy matchless glory sing,
The fields are white with waving corn,
The breezes heavenly incense bring
From all the fertile valleys borne.
4 The earth is breathing back to thee
The odours of the perfect flowers;
May all our lives as fruitful be
Amid the sunshine and the showers.
5 Thy gracious power on us bestow
To do Thy will and love Thy word,
Till we in fuller measure show
The joy and beauty of the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE

The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's Almighty hand:
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord,
For all His love.
2 He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey Him,
By Him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, His children,
He gives our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank Thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer,
For all Thy love imparts,
And, what Thou most desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: WIR PFLUGEN

We bid thee welcome in the name
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #632 (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 We bid thee welcome in the name
Of Jesus, our exalted Head;
Come as a servant: so He came;
And we receive thee in His stead.
2 Come as a shepherd: guard and keep
This fold from hell and earth and sin;
Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep;
The wounded heal, the lost bring in.
3 Come as a watchman: take thy stand
Upon thy tower amidst the sky;
And when the sword comes on the land,
Call us to fight, or warn to fly.
4 Come as an angel, hence to guide
A band of pilgrims on their way;
That, safely walking at thy side,
We fail not, faint not, turn, nor stray.
5 Come as a teacher sent from God,
Charged His whole counsel to declare:
Life o'er our ranks the prophet's rod,
While we uphold thy hands with prayer.

Wisdom had her glorious seat,
When the orbs that people space
Sprang to earth beneath Thy feet.

Light the mighty world with mind;

Kindly watchest all mankind;

Teach the way of truth and right,
Shed that love's undying flame,
Shed that wisdom's guiding light. Languages: English Tune Title: EPHRAIM

O happy is the man who hears
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #635a (1917) Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears
Instruction's warning voice;
And who celestial Wisdom makes
His early, only choice.
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 In her right hand she holds to view
A length of happy days;
Riches, with splendid honours joined,
Are what her left displays.
4 She guides the young with innocence,
In pleasure's paths to tread,
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
5 According as her labours rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Languages: English Tune Title: KILMARNOCK
