All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Hymnal: Voices United #530 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christian Year New Year; New Year Year ABC; New Year Year ABC Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; the hand that shaped the rose hath wrought the crystal of the snow, has sent the silvery frost of heaven, the flowing waters sealed, and laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. 2 O’er white expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold; the solemn splendours of the night burn brighter through the cold; life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth, and clearer sounds the angel hymn, good will to all on earth. 3 O God, from whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, yourself the vision passing by in crystal and in rose, day unto day declare thro' speech, and night to night proclaim, in ever-changing words of light the wonder of your name.

The old year's long campaign is o'er

Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #618 (1917) Topics: Year New Year; New Year, Hymns for Lyrics: 1 The old year's long campaign is o'er; Behold a new begun; Not yet is closed the holy war, Not yet the triumph won. Out of his still and deep repose We hear the old year say: "Go forth again to meet your foes, Ye children of the day. 2 "Go forth! firm faith on every heart, Bright hope on every helm, Through that shall pierce no fiery dart, And this no fear o'erwhelm. Go in the spirit and the might Of Him who led the way; Close with the legions of the night, Ye children of the day." 3 So forth we go to meet the strife, We will not fear nor fly; We love the holy warrior's life, His death we hope to die. We slumber not, this charge in view, "Toil on, while toil ye may, Then night shall be no night to you, Ye children of the day." 4 Lord God, our Glory, Three in One, Thine own sustain, defend; And give, though dim this earthly sun, Thy true light to the end; Till morning tread the darkness down, And night be swept away, And infinite sweet triumph crown The children of the day.

To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom, from despair your world release; that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned; pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.
