Shortness of Life and the Goodness of God
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #498 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Time! what an empty vapour 'tis! Lyrics: 1 Time! what an empty vapour ’tis!
And days how swift they are!
Swift as an Indian arrow flies,
Or like a shooting star.
2 [The present moments just appear,
Then slide away in haste,
That we can never say, “They’re here,”
But only say “They’re past.”]
3 [Our life is ever on the wing,
And death is ever nigh;
The moment when our lives begin,
We all begin to die.]
4 Yet, mighty God! our fleeting days
Thy lasting favours share;
Yet with the bounties of thy grace,
Thou load’st the rolling year.
5 ’Tis sovereign mercy finds us food,
And we are clothed with love;
While grace stands pointing out the road
That leads our souls above.
6 His goodness runs an endless round;
All glory to the Lord!
His mercy never knows a bound;
And be his name adored.
7 Thus we begin the lasting song,
And, when we close our eyes,
Let the next age thy praise prolong
Till time and nature dies.

New Year
Author: Medley Hymnal: SHPW1844 #499 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Great God! before thy throne Lyrics: 1 Great God! before thy throne
We joyfully appear,
In songs to make thy glories known,
And thus begin the year.
2 [What favours all divine;
What mercies shall we share;
What blessings all around us shine
To open this new year!]
3 Indulgent goodness spares
And still preserves us here,
And bounty all divine prepares
Supplies for this new year.
4 Our follies past forgive;
Our souls divinely cheer;
And help us more to thee to live,
Dear Lord, in this new year.
5 Prepare us for thy will,
Whatever may appear;
And let thy loving-kindness still
Preserve us through the year.
6 Confirm our souls in thee,
In faith and holy fear;
And let a precious Jesus be
Our song through all the year. Topics: Time Languages: English

May the grace of Christ, our Saviour
Author: Newton Hymnal: SHPW1844 #500 (1844) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: May the grace of Christ, our Saviour,
And the Father’s boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit’s favour,
Rest upon us from above.
Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord;
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford. Topics: Parting Hymns Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:14 Languages: English
May the grace of Christ, our Saviour
At Parting
Author: Newton Hymnal: SHPW1844 #501 (1844) First Line: For a season call'd to part Lyrics: 1 For a season called to part,
Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.
2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer,
Tender Shepherd of thy sheep;
Let thy mercy and thy care
All our souls in safety keep.
3 In thy strength may we be strong;
Sweeten every cross and pain;
Give us, if we live, ere long,
Here to meet in peace again.
4 Then, if thou thy help afford,
Ebenezers shall be reared;
All our souls shall praise the Lord,
Who our poor petitions heard. Topics: Parting Hymns Languages: English
