With Thee, O Lord, Begins The Year

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With Thee, O Lord, begins the year, With Thee, and with Thy sufferings here; Thine own example makes it plain, We too must suffer e’er we reign. 2 By giving up our will and way, By self denial every day, O help us thus to spend this year And all the time Thou giv’st us here! 3 Thy way at first seems hard and rough; Its end is joy and peace enough: The land where days and years are o’er And change and grief come nevermore. 4 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Away From Every Mortal Care

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away from every mortal care, Away from earth, our souls retreat; We leave this worthless world afar, And wait and worship near Thy seat. 2 Lord, in the temple of Thy grace We see Thy feet, and we adore; We gaze upon Thy lovely face, And learn the wonders of Thy power. 3 While here our various wants we mourn, United groans ascend on high; And prayer bears a quick return Of blessings in variety. 4 If Satan rage, and sin grow strong, Here we receive some cheering word; We gird the Gospel armor on To fight the battles of the Lord. 5 Or if our spirit faints and dies, Our conscience galled with inward stings, Here doth the righteous Sun arise With healing beams beneath His wings. 6 Father! my soul would still abide Within Thy temple, near Thy side; But if my feet must hence depart Still keep Thy dwelling in my heart.

Now Let Us Join with Hearts and Tongues

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now let us join with hearts and tongues, And emulate the angels’ songs; Yea, sinners may address their King In songs that angels cannot sing. 2. They praise the Lamb who once was slain, But we can add a higher strain; Not only say, He suffered thus, But that He suffered all for us. 3. When angels by transgression fell, Justice consigned them all to hell; But mercy formed a wondrous plan, To save and honor fallen man. 4. Jesus, who passed the angels by, Assumed our flesh to bleed and die; And still He makes it His abode, As man, He fills the throne of God. 5. Our next of kin, our brother now, Is He to whom the angels bow; They join with us to praise His name, But we the nearest interest claim. 6. But ah! how faint our praises rise! Sure, ’tis the wonder of the skies; That we, who share His richest love, So cold and unconcerned should prove. 7. O glorious hour, it comes with speed When we from sin and darkness freed, Shall see the God who died for man, And praise Him more than angels can.

When, doom'd to death, the Apostle lay

Author: W. C. Bryant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, doomed to death, th'Apostle lay At night in Herod's dungeon cell, A light shone round him like the day, And from his limbs the fetters fell. 2 A messenger from God was there, To break his chain and bid him rise; And lo! the saint, as free as air, Walked forth beneath the open skies. 3 Chains yet more strong and cruel bind The victim of that deadly thirst Which drowns the soul, and from the mind Blots the bright image stamped at first. 4 O God of love and mercy, deign To look on those with pitying eye Who struggle with that fatal chain, And send them succor from on high! 5 Send down, in its resistless might, Thy gracious Spirit, we implore, And lead the captive forth to light, A rescued soul, a slave no more! Amen. Topics: Temperance; Temperance Used With Tune: MAINZER
