The old year now hath passed away
Author: Jacob Tapp; Johannes Steurlein; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: The Church Year New Year; New Year's Day Lyrics: 1 The old year now hath passed away,
We thank Thee, O our God! to-day,
That Thou has kept us thro' the year,
When danger and distress were near.
2 We pray Thee, O Eternal Son,
Who with the Father reign’st as One,
To guard and rule Thy Christendom
Through all the ages yet to come.
3 Take not Thy saving Word away,
Our souls’ true comfort, staff, and stay;
Abide with us and keep us free
From errors, foll'wing only Thee.
4 O help us to forsake all sin,
A new and holier course begin;
Mark not what once was done amiss,
A happier, better year be this:
5 Wherein as Christians we may live,
Or die in peace that Thou canst give,
To rise again when Thou shalt come,
And enter our eternal home.
6 There shall we thank Thee, and adore,
With all the angels evermore;
Lord Jesus Christ, increase our faith
To praise Thy Name through life and death. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

By which supported still we stand;
The opening year Thy mercy shows;
That mercy crowns it till it 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 Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
Thou art our Joy, and Thou our Rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
Amen. Used With Tune: WAREHAM

the flying cloud, the frosty light:
the year is dying in the night;

ring, happy bells, across the snow:
the year is going, let it go;
ring out the false, ring in the true.

for those that here we see no more;
ring out the feud of rich and poor;
ring in redress to humankind.

the civic slander and the spite;
ring in the love of truth and right;
ring in the common love of good.

Of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing every fear;
Spoken through the silence
By our Father's voice,
Tender, strong, and faithful,
Making us rejoice.

Onward, then, and fear not,
Children of the day;
For His word shall never,
Never pass away.

O what rich supplies!
For the poor and needy
Living streams shall rise;
For the sad and sinful
Shall His grace abound;
For the faint and feeble
Perfect strength be found. [Refrain]

He will not forsake;
His eternal covenant
He will never break;
Resting on His promise,
What have we to fear?
God is all-sufficient
For the coming year. [Refrain]
Amen. Used With Tune: THE NEW YEAR
Onward then, and fear not
