Come in, come in, New Year

Author: Shirley Murray, 1931- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #808 (1997) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Old and New Year Lyrics: 1 Come in, come in, New Year with sparkling winter day!* Your promise calls us here to celebrate and pray, through January's open door to stride with hopeful step once more. 2 Come in, New Year, and sell your wares of chance and change: engage us with your spell to risk and rearrange, to feel the Spirit's impulse beat, to follow down a different street. 3 For though December dies, still Christmas keeps the light, the hope in children's eyes, the star that shatters night; now Simeon and Anna see the child who rules all time to be. 4 The calendar of Christ will mark the seasons' turn; his story claim our trust; his love be ours to learn. For all the world, for young and old, we pray a year of peace unfold! *original words: shining summer day Scripture: Luke 2:25-32 Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136TH

All beautiful the march of days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile, 1878-1939 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #809 (1997) Topics: Old and New Year Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; the hand that shaped the rose hath wrought the crystal of the snow, hath sent the hoary frost of heaven, the flowing waters sealed, and laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. 2 O’er white expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold; the solemn splendours of the night burn brightly through the cold; life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth, and clearer sounds the angel hymn, good will to all on earth. 3 O thou from whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, thyself the vision passing by in crystal and in rose; day unto day doth utter speech, and night to night proclaim in ever-changing words of light the wonder of thy name.
