The old year now hath passed away

Author: Jacob Tapp; Johannes Steurlein; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #45 (1908) Lyrics: 1 The old year now hath passed away, We thank Thee, O our God! to-day, That Thou has kept us thro' the year, When danger and distress were near. 2 We pray Thee, O Eternal Son, Who with the Father reign’st as One, To guard and rule Thy Christendom Through all the ages yet to come. 3 Take not Thy saving Word away, Our souls’ true comfort, staff, and stay; Abide with us and keep us free From errors, foll'wing only Thee. 4 O help us to forsake all sin, A new and holier course begin; Mark not what once was done amiss, A happier, better year be this: 5 Wherein as Christians we may live, Or die in peace that Thou canst give, To rise again when Thou shalt come, And enter our eternal home. 6 There shall we thank Thee, and adore, With all the angels evermore; Lord Jesus Christ, increase our faith To praise Thy Name through life and death.

The newborn Child this early morn

Author: M. Cyriacus Schneegass; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #46 (1908) Lyrics: 1 The new-born Child this early morn, The dear Christ-child of virgin born, Again brings from His heav'nly home A New Year to all Christendom. 2 This causes joy to angels fair, Who love to keep us in their care; They sing that in this wondrous Child God now with man is reconciled. 3 If God be reconciled with men, What harm can Satan do us then? O'er Satan, death, and gates of hell, This Christ-child shall for us prevail. 4 He brings the year of jubilee! Why doubt we yet despondently? Cheer up! This is a joyous day, The Christ-child drives all care away. Topics: The Church Year New Year; New Year's Day Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE

Help us, O Lord! behold we enter

Author: Johann Rist; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #47 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Help us, O Lord! behold we enter Upon another year to-day; In Thee our hopes and thoughts now centre, Renew our courage for the way: New Life, new strength, new happiness, We ask of Thee, O hear and bless! 2 May every plan and undertaking This year be all begun with Thee, When I am sleeping or am waking, Still let me know Thou art with me; Abroad do Thou my footsteps guide, At home be ever at my side. 3 Be this a time of grace and pardon, Thy rod I take with willing mind, O, suffer naught my heart to harden, And let me then Thy mercy find! In Thee alone, my God, I live, Thou only canst my sins forgive. 4 And may this year to me be holy, Thy grace so fill my every thought That all my life be pure and lowly, And truthful as a Christian’s ought; So make me, while yet dwelling here, Pious and blest from year to year. 5 Jesus, be with me and direct me; Jesus, my plans and hopes inspire; Jesus, from tempting thoughts protect me; Jesus, be all my heart’s desire; Jesus, be in my thoughts all day Nor suffer me to fall away. 6 And grant, Lord, when the year is over, That it for me in peace may close; In all things care for me, and cover My head in time of fear and woes; So may I, when my years are gone, Appear with joy before Thy throne.

In pray'r your voices raise ye

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: ELHW1908 #48a (1908) Lyrics: 1 In prayer your voices raise ye To God, and Him now praise ye, Who to our life from heaven All needed strength hath given. 2 The stream of years is flowing, And we are onward going, From old to new surviving, And by His mercy thriving. 3 In vain is all our doing; The labor we’re pursuing In our hands prospers never, Unless God watches ever. 4 Our song to Thee ascendeth, Who ev'ry day defendeth; O God of mercy! hear us; Our Father! be Thou near us; 5 With richest blessings crown us, In all our ways, Lord! own us; Give grace, who grace bestowest To all, e’en to the lowest. 6 Grace show to all afflicted, And to all souls dejected; And of the poor and needy Be Thou the succor speedy. 7 All earthly gifts excelling, The Holy Ghost indwelling, Give us to make us glorious, And lead to Thee victorious. 8 All this Thy hand bestoweth, Thou Life, whence our life floweth, Thus Thou Thy people meetest-- With New Year’s blessing greetest.

O Lord, our Father, thanks to Thee

August Crull Hymnal: ELHW1908 #49 (1908) Lyrics: 1 O Lord our Father, thanks to Thee In this new year we render, For Thou hast been from misery And evil our defender; Thro' all the year that hath now fled Hast given us our daily bread, And peace within our borders. 2 Lord Jesus Christ, our thanks to Thee In this new year we render, For Thou still rulest zealously Thy fold, with mercies tender; Thou hast redeemed us with Thy blood, Thou art our only Trust and Good: In life and death our Savior. 3 Lord Holy Ghost, our thanks to Thee In this new year we render, For by Thy grace it is that we Perceive Thy Word's pure splendor; Thou hast infused, Lord, from above Into our hearts true faith and love And other Christian virtues. 4 Our faithful God, we cry to Thee: Still bless us with Thy favor, Blot out all our iniquity, And hide our sins forever; Grant us a happy, good New Year, And when the hour of death draw near, A blest departure.

Great God, we sing that mighty hand

Author: Rev. Philip Doddridge Hymnal: ELHW1908 #50a (1908) Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand By which supported still we stand; The op'ning year Thy mercy shows-- Let mercy crowns it till it close. 2 By day, at night, at home, abroad, Still we are guarded by our God; By His incessant bounty fed, By His unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Thy guardian care commit, And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or depressed, Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt our songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues, Our helper, God, in whom we trust, In better words our soul shall boast.

Zion, awake and brighten!

Author: Martin Opitz; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #51 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Zion, awake and brighten! Lo, day begins to lighten, Thy Light draws nigh to thee; The brightness of His glory, The morn of Prophets' story, Now shines around and over thee. 2 Though earth is yet beclouded, And Gentile nations shrouded In darkness dense and drear, The Lord, thy Life, hath blessed thee, With loving grace caressed thee And crowned thy brow with honors dear. 3 On this broad earth the nations, Throughout all generations, That see the light of day, Shall learn thy brighter glory; And men shall haste before thee, To see thy Light and bless its ray. 4 Behold the surging masses! Thy Light doth draw all classes, The world turns unto thee, Thy fame hath reached their hearing, Their sons and daughters, nearing, Haste at thy shrine to bend the knee. 5 Thy heart shall leap within thee when thou shalt see th'assembly, Th'abundance of the sea; Thine eyes shall feast on courses Of myriad Gentile forces, That come converted unto thee. 6 There are glad delegations From Ephah and far nations, And clouds from Midian; With gold shall Saba cheer thee, And incense; all that near thee Shall sing thy praise, O chosen One!

Jesus ! great and wondrous Star

Author: Edmann Neumeister; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #52a (1908) Lyrics: 1 Jesus! great and wondrous Star, Both from Jacob's line and heaven, Festive gifts from near and far On this day to Thee are given: Oh! accept most graciously What I humbly offer Thee. 2 Saba bringeth gold to Thee; Lord, I give what thou hast given: gold of faith receive from me-- Precious gold that counts in heaven! Prove it, purge it free from dross In the furnace of the cross. 3 Take the frankincense of prayer; May it prove a sweet oblation! Heart and lips shall everywhere Strive to meet Thy approbation; Hear and heed my prayer, and then Seal it with Thy "Yea: Amen!" 4 Take contrition, bitter myrrh; O how sorely my sins grieve me! Pardon, healing, peace restore; Thou art true, and wilt relieve me. Lord, I praise Thee! and believe Thou my offering dost receive.
