Ring Out the Old, Ring In the New
Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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 a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
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.
4 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. Topics: New Year, The Scripture: Ephesians 4:24 Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

The Lamb's high banquet called to share
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lamb's high banquet called to share,
arrayed in garments white and fair,
the Red Sea past, we fain would sing
to Jesus our triumphant King.
2 Upon the altar of the cross,
his body hath redeemed our loss;
and, tasting of his precious blood,
our life is hid with him in God.
3 Protected in the Paschal night
from the destroying angel's might,
in triumph went the ransomed free
from Pharaoh's cruel tyranny.
4 Now Christ our Passover is slain,
the Lamb of God without a stain;
his flesh, the true unleavened bread,
is freely offered in our stead.
5 O all-sufficient Sacrifice,
beneath thee hell defeated lies;
thy captive people are set free,
and crowns of life restored by thee.
6 We hymn thee rising from the grave,
from death returning, strong to save;
thine own right hand the tyrant chains,
and paradise for man regains.
7 All praise be thine, O risen Lord,
from death to endless life restored;
all praise to God the Father be
and Holy Ghost eternally. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Easter Used With Tune: GRENOBLE (DEUS TUORUM MILITUM) Text Sources: 6th century, Latin; Other translators: Editors of Hymns Ancient and Modern

Thy Father's House
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals First Line: Thy Father’s house! Thine own bright home! Lyrics: 1 Thy Father’s house! Thine own bright home!
And Thou hast there a place for me!
Though yet an exile here I roam,
That distant home by faith I see.
2 I see its domes resplendent glow,
Where beams of God’s own glory fall;
And trees of life immortal grow,
Whose fruits o’erhang the sapphire wall.
3 I know that Thou, who on the tree
Didst deign our mortal guilt to bear,
Will bring Thine own to dwell with Thee,
And waitest to receive me there.
4 Thy love will there array my soul
In Thine own robe of spotless hue;
And I shall gaze while ages roll,
On Thee, with raptures ever new.
5 O welcome day! when Thou my feet
Shalt bring the shining threshold o’er;
A Father’s warm embrace to meet,
And dwell at home for evermore.

Thy Father's House
Unless the LORD Builds Up the House
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord builds up the house,
the weary builders toil in vain;
unless he keeps the city safe,
the guards a useless watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise before the dawn,
and late your nightly vigils keep;
while you eat bread of anxious toil,
God gives to his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are a heritage,
a gift from God in very truth.
Like arrows in a warrior's hand
are all the children of one's youth.
4 The man whose quiver's full of them
is blessed by God; his name is great.
He shall not fear his enemies
when he speaks with them in the gate.

The Heart Dejected Sighs To Know
Author: John Needham, ?-circa 1786 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heart dejected sighs to know,
Why vice triumphant reigns below;
Why saints have fall’n in every age,
The victims of tyrannic rage.
2 Fast roll successive years away;
Fast hastens on th’important day,
When, to th’astonished world’s surprise,
God’s high tribunal shall arise.
3 Hark! ’tis the trumpet’s piercing sound;
The rising dead assemble round;
In close procession, see, they come,
Each to receive his final doom.
4 Lo! there, a vile, degenerate race;
Pale terror sits on every face:
Here, on the right, a joyful band,
The sons of suffering virtue stand.
5 The sentence passed, lo! these arise
To bliss and glory in the skies:
While those, who once stood high in fame,
Sink to contempt and lasting shame.
6 Thus shall God’s government appear
Without a shade, divinely fair;
And blushing doubt with joy confess,
The Lord’s a God of righteousness. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

Return, My Soul, And Seek Thy Rest
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Return, my soul, and seek thy rest
Upon thy heav’nly Father’s breast:
Indulge me, Lord, in that repose,
The soul which loves Thee only knows.
2 Lodged in Thine arms I fear no more
The tempest’s howl, the billows’ roar;
Those storms must shake th’Almighty’s seat,
Which violate the saints’ retreat.
3 Thy bounties, Lord, to me surmount
The power of language to recount;
From morning dawn, the setting sun
Sees but my work of praise begun.
4 The mercies, all my moments bring,
Ask an eternity to sing;
What thanks those mercies can suffice
Which thro’ eternity shall rise?
5 Rich in ten thousand gifts possessed,
In future hopes more richly blessed,
I’ll sit and sing, till death shall raise
A note of more proportioned praise. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
