A New Year Prayer

Author: Emma F. R. Campbell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12436 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Before the new year’s portal Lyrics: 1 Before the new year’s portal With waiting feet I stand And seek, dear Lord, a blessing, The guidance of Thy hand. The path is all untrodden, No human footfall yet Has left a trace to follow, And save our vain regret. 2 The way seems dark before me, With no clear guiding light; All unrevealed its dangers To my dim mortal sight. Father, I dare not venture One single step alone, Lest I in blindness stumble Against some hidden stone. 3 Known to Thy higher wisdom Is all my future way; Its roughness and its windings, Its snares to lead astray. Unguided I shall wander, Lord, let me take Thy hand, And hold Thou up my goings, That I secure may stand. 4 I know not what awaits me Along the coming year, What cup of joy untasted, What weariness or fear; Beneath what weight of sorrow I may be called to bow, How near the dreary shadow Falls on my pathway now. 5 But this I know, undoubting, That not too great or strong, Will be the cross Thou’lt give me, The darkness not too long; For loving like a father Thou chasten but to bless; And with each needed trial Will give sustaining grace. 6 Lord, quiet these forebodings, These human doubts remove; Give me childlike assurance, A calm, unwavering love. Let me go forward bravely, With willing, trusting feet, Through Thine own strength to conquer Each enemy I meet. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL'S STORY

Before Thy Footstool Kneeling

Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12636 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Before Thy footstool kneeling, To Thee, O Lord, we cry; While for Thy gift of healing We raise our voice on high: Diseases and afflictions Thy ready servants are; Chastisement and corrections, To quicken us in prayer. 2 We own our guilt and folly, But Thou canst still forgive; And Thou, most high and holy, Canst bid the sick revive: Though now cast down in sorrow, In darkness and distress, Joy may return tomorrow, Through Thy restoring grace. 3 As suppliants now before Thee, In Thy great name we plead; Physician, we adore Thee, And trembling ask Thine aid: Before Thy footstool kneeling, To Thee, to Thee we cry: Send down Thy gift of healing On Thee our souls rely.

To Thee, In Youth's Bright Morning

Author: Robert G. Staples Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12900 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: To Thee, in youth’s bright morning Lyrics: 1 To Thee, in youth’s bright morning Father of all, we pray; While thought and fancy dawning, Lead on the rising day; To Thee, in life’s last even, We’ll tune our feebler breath; Hear all our sins forgiven, And softly sleep in death. 2 When from death’s sleep we waken, No fears shall us surprise; All earthly things forsaken, What joys shall meet our eyes! With rapture then increasing, For ever we’ll rejoice; And praises never ceasing, Shall wake each tuneful voice. 3 Though vine nor fig tree either Its fruit or leaves should bear; Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God, the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

A Story Sweet And True

Author: E. W. Oakes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13000 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: We’ll sing the wondrous story Lyrics: 1 We’ll sing the wondrous story, ’Tis ever sweet and true; Of Jesus’ love so precious, Now freely offered you; He left the joys of Heaven, His Father’s home on high, For lost and ruined sinners, To suffer and to die. 2 The cruel world, they took Him, With thorns they crowned His head; And then to Calvary’s mountain The precious Lamb was led; The nails of shame were driven, The blood flowed from His side; He cried, "O God, forgive them," And bowed His head and died. 3 His friends whom He loved dearly, And whom He died to save, They begged His precious body, And laid it in the grave; But God His Father raised Him, Triumphant, from the dead, Oh! glory hallelujah, Now death is captive lead. 4 My Lord now reigns in glory, He’s coming soon for me; And then with all the ransomed, His glorious face I’ll see; And shout, "Behold the Bridegroom Put on your garments fair. And go ye out to meet Him, With rapture in the air." Languages: English Tune Title: HEATHROW

Bethlehem

Author: Sanford F. Bennett Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13076 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: In Bethlehem was Jesus born Lyrics: 1 In Bethlehem was Jesus born, The Son of God Supreme; And wise men from the eastward came, Whose eyes His star had seen. When Herod sent them on their way, Afar to Bethlehem, A light to guide their steps aright, That star preceded them. 2 And as their longing eyes beheld Its clear and gentle rays, How swelled their hearts with untold joy! How warmed their lips with praise! If we so seek to find the way To loving Jesus’ feet, Faith’s guiding star, with gentle light, Our longing eyes shall greet. 3 And we may bear our gifts of gold, And myrrh, and frankincense, The off’rings of a contrite heart, That sinning, yet repents. And He who pities sinful man Those gifts of love shall bear, And place them near the Father’s throne, To be our witness there. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

The Coming Millennium

Put on thy strength divine— Thy garments, bright in beauty— The bridal dress be thine: Jerusalem the holy, To purity restored; Meek bride, all fair and lowly, Go forth to meet thy Lord. 2 From henceforth pure and spotless, All glorious within, Prepared to meet the Bridegroom, And cleansed from every sin; With love and wonder smitten, And bowed in guileless shame, Upon thy heart be written The new mysterious name. 3 Jerusalem the holy, In light and peace behold; Her glowing altars flaming, Her candlesticks of gold. The heav’nly Bridegroom’s dwelling, The place of David’s thrones; Her solemn anthems swelling, Her pavement precious stones. 4 Jerusalem, victorious In triumph o’er her foes; Mount Zion, great and glorious, Thy gates no more shall close: Earth’s millions shall assemble Around thy open door, While hell and Satan tremble, And earth and Heav’n adore. 5 The Lamb who bore our sorrows Comes down to earth again; No sufferer now, but victor, For evermore to reign; To reign in every nation, And rule in every zone: O world-wide coronation! In every heart a throne. 6 Awake! awake! O Zion! Thy bridal day draws nigh— The day of signs and wonders, And marvels from on high: The sun uprises slowly, But keep thou watch and ward; Fair bride, all pure and lowly, Go forth to meet thy Lord.

This is the Lord Almighty, Whom hosts in Heav’n adore, Who with His word could scatter His foes forevermore! 3 Who is this Babe so gentle, This Babe, so pure and sweet, Who wears a smile so loving, His visitors to greet? This is our only Savior, Who deigns on earth to come That He may open for us The great eternal home. Languages: English Tune Title: PETTMAN
