Good King Wenceslas
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 13.13.13.14 Appears in 39 hymnals First Line: Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen Lyrics: 1 Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel.
2 “Hither, page, and stand by me, if you know it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?”
“Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain,
Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes’ fountain.”
3 “Bring me food and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither,
You and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither.”
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together,
Through the cold wind’s wild lament and the bitter weather.
4 “Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger,
Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer.”
“Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread now in them boldly,
You shall find the winter’s rage freeze your blood less coldly.”
5 In his master’s steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure, while God’s gifts possessing,
You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.

From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879) Meter: 13.13.13.14 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song,
As on the King's own highway we bravely march along.
From glory unto glory! O word of stirring cheer,
As dawns the solemn brightness of another glad New Year!
2 The fullness of His blessing encompasseth our way;
The fullness of His promises crowns every brightening day;
The fullness of His glory is beaming from above,
While more and more we learn to know the fullness of His love.
3 O let our adoration for all that He hath done
Peal out beyond the stars of God, while voice and life are one;
And let our consecration be real and deep and true,
O even now our hearts shall bow and joyful vows renew.
4 Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go,
While grace for grace abundantly shall from His fullness flow,
To glory's full fruition, from glory's foretaste here,
Until His very presence crown our happiest New Year.
Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services The New Year; New Year, The; Processionals; Year, The New Used With Tune: HOYTE (ST. COLUMBA)

Come, All Ye Sons of God
Author: Thomas Davenport, 1815-1888 Meter: 13.13.13.14 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Come, all ye sons of God, who have received the priesthood Lyrics: 1. Come, all ye sons of God, who have received the priesthood,
Go spread the Gospel wide, and gather in His people,
The latter day work has begun, to gather scattered Israel in
And bring them back to Zion to praise the Lamb.
2. Come, all ye scattered sheep, and listen to your Shepherd,
While you the blessing reap, which long have been predicted;
By prophets long it’s been foretold He’ll gather you into His fold
And bring you home to Zion to praise the Lamb.
3. Repent and be baptized, and have your sins remitted,
And get the Spirit’s zeal; O then you’ll be united;
Go cast upon Him all your cares; He will regard your humble prayer
And bring you home to Zion to praise the Lamb.
4. And when your grief is o’er and ended your affliction,
Your spirits then will soar to await the resurrection;
And then His presence you’ll enjoy, in heavenly bliss your time employ,
A thousand years in Zion to praise the Lamb. Used With Tune: BACK TO ZION
Come, All Ye Sons of God
