Help Us, O Lord, Behold, We Enter

Author: Johann Rist; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #58 (1926) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Help us, O Lord, behold, we enter Upon another year to-day; In Thee our hopes and thoughts we center, Renew our courage for the way: New life, new strength, new happiness We ask of Thee, O hear and bless! 2 May every plan and undertaking This year be all begun with Thee; When I am sleeping or am waking, Still let me know Thou art with me; Abroad do Thou my footsteps guide, At home be ever at my side. 3 Be this a time of grace and pardon; Thy rod I take with willing mind, But suffer naught my heart to harden, And let me now Thy mercy find; In Thee alone, my God, I live, Thou only canst my sins forgive. 4 And may this year to me be holy; Thy grace so fill my every thought, That all my life be pure and lowly And truthful as a Christian's ought; So make me, while yet dwelling here, Faithful and blest from year to year. 5 Jesus, be with me and direct me; Jesus, my plans and hopes inspire; Jesus, from tempting thoughts protect me; Jesus, be all my heart's desire; Jesus, be in my thoughts all day, Nor suffer me to fall away. 6 Grant, Lord, that when the year is over, That it for me in peace it close; In all things care for me, and cover My head in time of fear and woes; So may I, when my years are gone, Appear with joy before Thy throne. Amen.

Baptized into Thy Name Most Holy

How many a song my lips should raise Thee, Who order'st all things here aright! My thankful heart would ever be Telling what God hath done for me. 2 O all ye powers that He implanted, Arise, keep silence thus no more; Put forth the strength that He hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore; O soul and body, make ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet. 3 O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee, When I with angels hymn Thy praise, And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud hallelujahs to my King.

Ajar the Temple Gates Are Swinging

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #402 (1926) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ajar the temple gates are swinging, Lo! still the grace of God is free. Perhaps when next the bells are ringing The grave shall open unto thee, And thou art laid beneath the sod No more to see this house of God. 2 But if to-day the Lord thou seekest, His blessed gospel to embrace, He who gives strength unto the weakest Shall fill thy heart with truth and grace. In life He will thy footsteps guide, In death He still is at thy side. 3 O come to-day, and do not reckon Upon the day that is not thine. The Lord in mercy still doth beckon: Accept to-day His grace divine. Then shall thy prayers and praises rise A sacred incense to the skies. Amen.

Author: Arivd August Afzelius Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #314 (1926) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Unto the Lord of all creation Thy voice, my soul, in anthems raise. Let ev'ry heart a fit oblation Bring unto Him with songs of praise. O contemplate in humbleness The pow'r and riches of his grace. 2 In Him we live and have our being; And all the hosts of heav'n and earth The living God, all-wise, all-seeing, Thro' His own Spirit brought to birth. His holy Name, writ in His Word, Thro' all the universe is heard. 3 The Lord who laid the earth's foundation, And for the stars their course decreed, Whose hand hath ordered all creation, Provideth for our every need; For God is Love: the Father's care His smallest child shall duly share. 4 From out the gloom mine eye descrieth The Maker's footprints in the sky; the starry chorus testifieth To His eternal majesty; While on my path each tiny flower Proclaims His glory and His power. 5 Into Thy hand, O God Almighty, My weal and woe I will entrust; My need Thou seest who takest pity On every worm that crawls the dust. In pleasure's path or sorrow's way Be Thou my Guide, O Lord, I pray. 6 And when the morning star appeareth, Thy grace, Thy glory we proclaim; When falls the dew, and evening neareth, O Lord, we call upon Thy Name. Upon Thy mercy we rely, Father, Creator, God on high. Amen.
