Year by year, from past to future
Author: Alan Luff (b. 1928) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Death and Bereavement; Future hope; New Year; Other Saints and Festivals Thomas the Apostle; Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 Year by year, from past to future
worship marks our upward climb,
sets the rhythm of our journey
to eternity through time:
though the outward things diminish
we are held more firm by grace,
following God's heavenward calling
and the everlasting prize.
2 As we seek to weave life's fabric
on the lengthening loom of days,
may Christ guide the threads that form it,
be the pattern it displays;
may the Father, master craftsman,
sorrowing over each mistake,
plan for us a new perfection
from the ugliness we make.
3 Though we long for the adventure
of the mystery of bliss,
to the pilgrim's eyes the pathway
breaks, and ends in death's abyss;
but within the dark are waiting
hands that bear the print of nails,
which will hold us safe and bear us
where the worship never fails. Scripture: John 14:1-4 Used With Tune: EBENEZER

Lord, what a feeble piece
Appears in 164 hymnals Topics: Life, Death and a future State The Frailty and Shortness of Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a feeble piece
Is this our mortal frame!
Our life, how poor a trifle 'tis,
That scarce deserves the name!
2 Alas, the brittle clay
That built our body first!
And e'ery month, and every day,
'Tis mould'ring back to dust.
3 Our moments fly apace,
Nor will our minutes stay;
Just like a flood our hasty days
Are sweeping us away.
4 Well, if our days must fly,
We'll keep their end in sight,
We'll spend them all in wisdom's way,
And let them speed their flight.
5 They'll waft us sooner o'er
This Life's tempestuous sea;
Soon we shall reach the peaceful shore
Of blest eternity.
Lord, what a feeble piece
