Great God, we sing Your mighty hand

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #132 (2004) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing Your mighty hand by which supported still we stand; the opening year Your mercy shows; that mercy crowns its lingering close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, still are we 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 Your guardian care commit, and peaceful leave before Your feet. 4 In scenes exalted or depressed, You are our joy, You are our rest; Your goodness all our hopes shall raise, adored through all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt these songs, and seal in silence mortal tongues, our helper God, in whom we trust, shall keep our souls and guard our dust.

Heavenly Father, You have brought us

Author: Hester Periam Hawkins, 1848-1928 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #133 (2004) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, You have brought us safely to the present day, gently leading on our footsteps, watching o’er us all the way. Friend and guide through life’s long journey, grateful hearts to You we bring; but for love so true and changeless how shall we fit praises sing? 2 Mercies new and never-failing brightly shine through all the past, watchful care and loving-kindness always near from first to last, tender love, divine protection ever with us day and night; blessings more than we can number strew the path with golden light. 3 Shadows deep have crossed our pathway, we have trembled in the storm; clouds have gathered round so darkly that we could not see Your form; yet Your love has never left us in our griefs to be alone, and the help each gave the other was the strength that is Your own. 4 Many that we loved have left us, reaching first their journey’s end; now they wait to give us welcome, brother, sister, child, and friend. When at last our journey’s over, and we pass away from sight, Father, take us through the darkness into everlasting light. Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON

Take up your cross, take up your sword, and fight the battles of your Lord! 3 March on, my soul, with strength, with strength, but not your own; the conquest you shall gain, through Christ your Lord alone; His grace shall nerve your feeble arm, His love preserve you safe from harm. 4 March on, my soul, with strength, from strength to strength march on; warfare shall end at length, all foes be overthrown. Then, O my soul, if faithful now, the crown of life awaits your brow. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTCHURCH

Lord, Through All the Generations

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #185 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Old Year Lyrics: 1 Lord, through all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: EMMELAR (RICHARDS)

My Father's hand will never cause His child a needless tear. 4 My times are in Your hand: Jesus, the Crucified; those hands my cruel sins had pierced are now my guard and guide. 5 My times are in Your hand; such faith You give to me that after death, at Your right hand I shall for ever be.

Author: Rev. E. Caswall Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #621 (1894) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Old Year Lyrics: 1 Days and moments quickly flying Speed us onward to the dead: OH, how soon shall we be lying Each within his narrow bed! 2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer, Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; Wake, oh, wake, each idle dreamer Now to make the eternal choice! 3 Mark me whither we are wending; Ponder how we soon must go To inherit bliss unending Or eternity of woe. Life passeth soon; Death draweth near; Keep us, good Lord, Till Thou appear; With Thee to live, With Thee to die, With Thee to reign Through eternity! 4 As a shadow life is fleeting; As a vapor so it flies; For the bygone years retreating Pardon grant, and make us wise; 5 Wise that we our days may number, Strive and wrestle with our sin; Stay not in our work, nor slumber Till Thy holy rest we win. 6 Soon before the Judge all glorious We with all the dead shall stand: Saviour, over death victorious, Place us then on Thy right hand. Life passeth soon; Death draweth near; Keep us, good Lord, Till Thou appear; With Thee to live, With Thee to die, With Thee to reign Through eternity! Amen.

I bless his name; the same his pow'r, his grace the same; the tokens of his friendly care open and close and crown the year. 2 I 'midst ten thousand dangers stand, supported by his guardian hand, and see, when I survey my ways, ten thousand momuments of praise. 3 Thus far his arm has led me on, thus far I make his mercy known, and whle I tread this desert land, new mercies shall new songs demand. 4 My grateful soul on Jordan's shore shall raise one sacred pillar more, then bear in his bright courts above, inscriptions of immortal love.
