Another Year Completed

Author: Paulinus of Nola, 353-431; J. Athelstan Riley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. Another year completed, The day comes round once more Which with our patron’s radiance Is bright as heretofore. Now, strong in hope, united His festival we greet; He will present our troubles Before the mercy-seat. 2. The Scriptures tell how Moses Did for the people pray, Appeased the Judge eternal, And turned His wrath away; Elijah’s prayer had power, To close and open Heav’n; Such saints as were aforetime, Such saints to us are giv’n. 3. O saint of God, belovèd, And placed on His right hand, Thy prayers be like a rampart As ’gainst the foe we stand; For Abraham’s God is thy God, And Isaac’s God is thine, Thine is the God of Jacob, The Lord of power benign. 4. For forty years His Israel He fed with angels’ food; The flinty rock He opened The streams of water flowed. Entreat that Christ His people May lead to victory: The God of Joshua’s triumph The Lord thy God is He.

The Lord and king of all things But yesterday was born; And Stephen’s glorious offering His birth-tide shall adorn: No pearls of orient splendor, No jewels can he show; But with his own true heart’s blood His shining vestments glow. 2. Come, ye that love the martyrs, And pluck the flowers of song, And weave them in a garland, For this our suppliant throng; And cry, O thou that shinest In grace’s brightest ray, Christ’s valiant protomartyr, For peace and favor pray! 3. Thou first of all confessors, Of all the deacons crown, Of every following athlete, The glory and renown: Make supplication, standing Before Christ’s royal throne, That He would give the kingdom, And for our sins atone!

Thy people long to greet thee, my hope, my heart's delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, a lamp within my breast to do in spirit lowly all that may please thee best. 2 Love caused thine incarnation, love brought thee down to me; thy thirst for my salvation procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, that led thee to embrace in love all love excelling our lost and fallen race. 3 A glory thou didst give me, a treasure safe on high, that will not fail nor leave me as earthly riches fly. My heart shall bloom forever for thee with praises new, and from thy name shall never withhold the honor due. Scripture: Luke 12:33 Used With Tune: HELDER Text Sources: Wie soll ich dich empfangen
