Great God! we sing that mighty Hand

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Church Book #137 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: New Year; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty Hand, By which supported still we stand: The opening year Thy mercy shows; Let mercy crown it, till it close. 2 By day, by 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 deprest, 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 worlds our souls shall boast.

When in distress on Him I called, He to my rescue came. 4 The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliverance He affords to all Who on His succor trust. 5 O make but trial of His Love; Experience will decide How blest they are, and only they, Who in His truth confide. 6 Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then Have nothing else to fear; Make you His service your delight, He'll make your wants His care.

While with ceaseless course the sun

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Church Book #139 (1890) Topics: New Year; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here; Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know. 2 As the wingéd arrow flies Speedily, the mark to find; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream: Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view. Bless Thy word to young and old, Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLE MENSCHEN MÜSSEN STERBEN
