To God the Anthem Raising
Author: Carl Döving; Paul Eber Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 To God the anthem raising,
Sing, Christians, great and small;
Sing out, His goodness praising,
Oh, thank Him, one and all!
Behold how God this year,
Which now is safely ended,
Hath in His love befriended
His children far and near.
2 Let us consider rightly
His mercies manifold,
And let us not think lightly
Of all His gifts untold.
Let thankfulness recall
How God this year hath led us,
How He hath clothed and fed us,
The great ones and the small.
3 To Church and State He granted
His peace in ev'ry place,
His vineyard He hath planted
Among us by His grace.
His ever bounteous hand
Prosperity hath given
And want and famine driven
From this our native land.
4 His Father heart is yearning
To take us for His own
When, our transgressions mourning,
We trust in Christ alone;
When in His name we pray
And humbly make confession,
He pardons our transgression
And is our faithful Stay.
5 Our God hath well defended,
Hath kept us through His grace;
But if He had contended
With us our sins to trace
And given us our meed,
We all would then be lying
In sin and sorrow, dying,
Each one for his misdeed.
6 O Father dear in heaven,
For all Thy gifts of love
Which Thou to us hast given
We lift our thanks above.
In Jesus’ name we here,
To Thee our prayers addressing,
Still ask Thee for Thy blessing:
Grant us a joyful year.

To God the Anthem Raising
O Enter, Lord, Thy Temple
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple,
Be Thou my spirit's guest,
Who gavest me, the earth-born,
A second birth more blest.
Thou in the Godhead, Lord,
Though here to dwell Thou deignest,
For ver equal reignest,
Art equally adored.
2 O enter, let me know Thee
And feel Thy pow'r within,
The pow'r that breaks our fetters
And rescues us from sin;
So wash and cleanse Thou me
That I may serve Thee truly
And render honor duly
With perfect heart to Thee.
3 A branch I was most barren,
But now bear fruit thro' Thee;
Once death my life pervaded,
But Thou hast quickened me
In Thy baptismal flood,
That washing of salvation,
Which drowns death and damnation
Thro' Christ the Savior's blood.
4 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest
The soul to pray aright;
Thy songs have sweetest music,
Thy prayers have wondrous might:
Unheard they cannot fall,
They pierce the highest heaven,
Till He His help hath given
Who surely helpeth all.
5 Our ways in all things order
According to Thy mind;
And when this life is ended,
When all must be resigned,
O grant that we may die
With calm and fearless spirit
And after death inherit
Eternal life on high.

O Enter, Lord, Thy Temple
Guds Godhed vil vi prise
Author: Paul Eber; Rasm. Katholm Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Guds Godhed vil vi prise,
Vi Kristne, Store, Smaa,
Hen op med Sang og Vise
At takke hannem gaa,
For de Velgjerninger,
Som dette Aar forgangen
Han haver gjort saa Mangen
Alt haabe fjern og nær.
2 Først lader os betragte
Den Herre Guds Miskund,
Og ikke ringe agte
Hans Godhed mangelund.
Med Tak vi tænke paa,
Hvad han iaar har givet.
Mad, Drikke, Klæder, Livet
Fro Store og for Smaa.
3 Embeder, Skoler, Kirke
Gav han god Ro og Fred,
Og lad sin Vingaard dyrke
Hos os paa dette Sted!
Udaf hans milde Haand
Er god Tider blevet,
Fordærvelsen bortdrevet
Fra diss kristne Land.
4 Han haver os bevaret,
Og været naadefuld,
Men havde han fremfaret
Efter vor Synd og Skyld,
Og sendt sin Straf herind,
Vi havde længst vær't øde,
Af Sorg og Skade døde
Hver for Misgjerning sin.
5 Hans Fader-Hjerte kjendes
Herudi mod os vist;
Naar vi fra Synden vendes,
Og tro paa Jesum Krist,
Og ærlig til ham gaar,
Forlader han os Brøden,
Formindsker dertil Nøden,
Og trolig med os staar.
6 For saadan' Mildheds Gaver,
O Fader i Himmerig,
Som du os givet haver,
Vi takke inderlig!
I Jesu Navn vi staar
Og bede dig saa saare:
Læg os god Lykke fore,
Giv os et glædigt Aar!
(Giv os et fredligt Aar!
Giv os et frugtbart Aar!)

Come, Let Us All, With Fervor
Author: Paul Eber, 1511-1569; Johann C. Jacobi Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us all, with fervor,
On whom Heav’n’s mercies shine,
To our supreme preserver
In tuneful praises join.
Another year is gone;
Of which the tender mercies
(Each pious heart rehearses)
Demand a grateful song.
2 Tell o’er, with true devotion,
The wonders of His grace:
Let no polluting notion
Our gratitude deface.
But still remember well,
That this year’s renovation
Renews our obligation
To fight ’gainst sin and hell.
3 His grace is still preserving
Our peace in church and state;
His love is never swerving,
In spite of Satan’s hate.
Dispensed with open hand,
His blessings on this nation
Still ward off desolation,
And save a sinful land.
4 ’Tis His eternal kindness
That spares us from the rod.
Tho’ long our willful blindness
Has sore provoked our God
To pour His vengeance down;
Yet still His grace provides us,
And still His mercy hides us,
From His own dreadful frown.
5 The source of all compassion
Pities our feeble frame
When, turning from transgression,
We come in Jesus’ name
Before His holy face;
Then every sinful motion
Is cast into the ocean
Of never-failing grace.
6 To Christ our peace is owing:
Through Him Thou art appeased.
Through Him Thy love’s still flowing:
O! wilt Thou then be pleased,
Through Christ Thy grace to send,
In all its strength and beauty,
To keep us in our duty,
’Till these frail days shall end. Used With Tune: HELFT MIR GOTTES GÜTE Text Sources: Tr.: Psalmodia Germanica (London: J. Young, 1722)
