The New Year
"Let me go over!"
Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 1,387 hymnals Topics: Autumn First Line: On Jordan's rugged banks I stand Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's rugged banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight!
2 O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, for ever reigns,
And scatters night away.
No chilling winds, or poisonous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his bosom rest?
Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Can here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away. Scripture: Deuteronomy 3:25 Used With Tune: CASTLE RISING
"Let me go over!"
"Go over this Jordan"
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,418 hymnals Topics: Autumn First Line: There is a land of pure delight Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
These gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes:--
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Scripture: Joshua 1:11 Used With Tune: VARINA

Praise to God and thanks we bring
As Men of Old Their First-Fruits Brought
Author: Frank von Christierson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Autumn Lyrics: 1 As those of old their first-fruits brought
Of orchard, flock, and field
To God, the giver of all good,
The source of bounteous yield;
So we today first-fruits would bring,
The wealth of this good land,
Of farm and market, shop and home,
Of mind and heart and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
To labor, love, and give;
To make our life an offering
To God, that man may live;
The church of Christ is calling us
To make the dream come true:
A world redeemed by Christ-like love,
All life in Christ made new.
3 In gratitude and humble trust
We bring our best today,
To serve your cause and share your love
With all along life’s way.
O God, who gave yourself to us
In Christ, your only Son,
Teach us to give ourselves each day
Until life's work is done. Scripture: Exodus 23:16 Used With Tune: HIGH POPPLES
As Men of Old Their First-Fruits Brought
