The Old Year Now Hath Passed Away

Author: Catherine Winkworth; J. Steuerlein Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #368 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The old year now hath passed away, And we thank Thee, Lord, today That Thou wast nigh our hearts to cheer When danger and distress drew near. 2 O Thou, the Father's only Son, Be with us till our course is run. Guard Thou and rule Thy Christendom Thro' all the ages yet to come. 3 Take not Thy saving Word away, The souls’ true comfort, staff and stay; Abide with us that we may be From grievous errors ever free. 4 O grant that we, renouncing sin, A better life may now begin; Hide from the old year's guilt Thy face And for the new year lend Thy grace. 5 Thus as true Christians may we live, And may Thy peace sweet comfort give When we shall leave this world of strife And pass thro' death to blissful life. Amen. Topics: The Church Year New Year Languages: English Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH

Lord God, we all give praise to Thee

Author: Dr. Philip Melanchthon; Dr. Paul Eber; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #122 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Lord God, we all give praise to Thee, And sing Thy love most gratefully, For the angelic beings bright Who hover round Thy throne of light. 2 They shine resplendent by Thy grace And gaze enraptured on Thy face; They hear Thy voice as Thou hast willed, And are with heavenly wisdom filled. 3 Thy slumber not, nor rest their feet; It is their aim and joy most sweet To be Thy host, Thou mighty Rock! And be around Thy little flock. 4 The foul old dragon and dread foe Burns with fierce envious hate below; He seeks more than all else beside Thy Christian people to divide. 5 He blighted earth with lying breath And hold his grip e'en now till death; Chafes madly to annihilate All virtue, honor, Church, and State. 6 Nor halt nor rest he ever knows; As roaring lion 'round he goes, Or lies in wait with desp'rate snare To bring the Christian to despair. 7 But watchful is the angel-band That follows Christ on every hand, And guards Thy Holy Christendom From harm that may from Satan come. 8 This we can well of Daniel ken, When he sat in the lions' den; And earlier still, we have been taught How angels rescued pious Lot. 9 Likewise the Hebrews three, of old, Who bend no knee to gods of gold, Sang cheerfully mid flames intense: God's angel was their sure defence. 10 And thus our God, still at this day, From harm and many an evil way Keeps us by His dear angel-guard, Placed o'er us as our watch and ward. 11 For this, now and eternally, Our praise shall rise, O God, to Thee, Whom also angel-hosts adore With joy, now and forevermore. 12 We yet would pray Thee to defend By them, unto the latter end, Thy fold, that little flock, O Lord, That holds in honor Thy blest Word!

Lord God, We All to Thee Give Praise

Author: P. Melanchthon, 1497-1560; P. Eber, 1511-69; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931; J. A. Seiss, 1823-1904 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #545 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord God we all to Thee give praise Lyrics: 1 Lord God, we all to Thee give praise, Thank off'rings meet to Thee we raise That Thou didst angel hosts create Around Thy glorious throne to wait. 2 They glow with light and heav'nly grace And constantly behold Thy face; Obedience to Thy voice they yield, And are with godly wisdom filled. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be Forever near Thee, gracious Lord, Thy little flock to watch and guard. 4 The foul old dragon and dread foe With envy, hate, and wrath doth glow; It always is his aim and pride Thy Christian people to divide. 5 As he hath troubled earth of old He keeps e'en now his deathly hold, Chafes madly to annihilate All virtue, honor, Church, and State. 6 Therefore, no halt nor rest he knows, A roaring lion round he goes, Or lies in wait with baneful snare To drive the Christians to despair. 7 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on ev'ry hand To guard His people where they go And break the counsel of the foe. 8 From Daniel this may well be seen When he sat in the lion's den, And likewise angels rescured Lot, That the ungodly harmed him not. 9 When, too, those faithful three were cast Into the fiery furnace blast, No pow'r had fiercest flames to harm Against the rescuing angel's arm. 10 And thus our God, still at this day, From harm and many an evil way Keeps us by His dear angel guard, Placed over us as watch and ward. 11 They joy when but one sinner turns; Their zeal for Jesus ever burns; They serve His people day and night To bring us to the realms of light. 12 The little ones, awake, asleep, Yea, ev'ry child of His, they keep O'er all His kingdom, far and near, They give their kind and loving care. 13 When death approaches, then they come To soothe mid pain and guide us home; When from our flesh departs our soul, They bear us to our heav'nly goal. 14 For this, now and eternally, Our praise shall rise, O Lord, to Thee, Whom all the angel hosts adore With joy now and forevermore. 15 Give us, O Lord, the grace and pow'r To serve Thee well each day and hour; Grant us the zeal and fervent love To serve as angels serve above. 16 We also pray Thee to defend By them unto the latter end, Thy fold, that little flock, O Lord, That holds in honor Thy blest Word.
