Christ be the Lord of all our days
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #607 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals New Year Lyrics: 1 Christ be the Lord of all our days,
the swiftly passing years:
Lord of our unremembered birth,
heirs to the brightness of the earth;
Lord of our griefs and fears.
2 Christ be the source of all our deeds,
the life our living shares;
the fount which flows from worlds above
to never-failing springs of love;
the ground of all our prayers.
3 Christ be the goal of all our hopes,
the end to whom we come;
guide of each pilgrim Christian soul
which seeks, as compass seeks the pole,
our many-mansioned home.
4 Christ be the vision of our lives,
of all we think and are;
to shine upon our spirits' sight
as light of everlasting light,
the bright and morning star. Scripture: John 14:6 Languages: English Tune Title: CLOTH FAIR

Year by year, from past to future
Author: Alan Luff (b. 1928) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #829 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Thomas the Apostle Lyrics: 1 Year by year, from past to future
worship marks our upward climb,
sets the rhythm of our journey
to eternity through time:
though the outward things diminish
we are held more firm by grace,
following God's heavenward calling
and the everlasting prize.
2 As we seek to weave life's fabric
on the lengthening loom of days,
may Christ guide the threads that form it,
be the pattern it displays;
may the Father, master craftsman,
sorrowing over each mistake,
plan for us a new perfection
from the ugliness we make.
3 Though we long for the adventure
of the mystery of bliss,
to the pilgrim's eyes the pathway
breaks, and ends in death's abyss;
but within the dark are waiting
hands that bear the print of nails,
which will hold us safe and bear us
where the worship never fails. Scripture: John 14:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER

Above the voices of the world around me
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #114 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Andrew the Apostle Lyrics: 1 Above the voices of the world around me,
my hopes and dreams, my cares and loves and fears,
the long-awaited call of Christ has found me,
the voice of Jesus echoes in my ears:
'I gave my life to break the cords that bind you,
I rose from death to set your spirit free;
tum from your sins and put the past behind you,
take up your cross and come and follow me.'
2 What can I offer him who calls me to him?
Only the wastes of sin and self and shame;
a mind confused, a heart that never knew him,
a tongue unskilled at naming Jesus' name.
Yet at your call, and hungry for your blessing,
drawn by that cross which moves a heart of stone,
now Lord I come, my tale of sin confessing,
and in repentance turn to you alone.
3 Lord, I believe; help now my unbelieving;
I come in faith because your promise stands.
Your word of pardon and of peace receiving,
all that I am I place within your hands.
Let me become what you shall choose to make me,
freed from the guilt and burden of my sins.
Jesus is mine, who never shall forsake me,
and in his love my new-born life begins. Scripture: Mark 1:14-20 Languages: English Tune Title: ASTON ROWANT
Above the voices of the world around me
Take up thy cross, the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #135 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Matthias the Apostle Lyrics: 1 Take up thy cross, the Saviour said,
if thou wouldst my disciple be;
deny thyself, the world forsake,
and humbly follow after me.
2 Take up thy cross: let not its weight
fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear thy spirit up,
and brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm.
3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame,
nor let thy foolish pride rebel:
thy Lord for thee the cross endured,
to save thy soul from death and hell.
4 Take up thy cross then in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
'twill guide thee to a better home,
and lead to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up thy cross, and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only they who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown.
6 To thee, great Lord, the One in Three,
all praise for evermore ascend:
O grant us in our home to see
the heavenly life that knows no end. Scripture: Luke 9:23-27 Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU
Take up thy cross, the Saviour said
