Across the Sky the Shades of Night
Author: James Hamilton, 1819-96; Gregory J. Wismar, b. 1946 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:19 Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night
This New Year's Eve are fleeting.
We deck Your altar, Lord, with light,
In solemn worship meeting:
And as the year's last hours go by,
We raise to You our earnest cry,
Once more Your love entreating.
2 Before the cross subdued we bow,
To You our prayers addressing,
Recounting all Your mercies now,
And all our sins confessing;
Beseeching You this coming year
To keep us in Your faith and fear
And crown us with Your blessing.
3 We gather up in this brief hour
The mem'ry of Your mercies:
Your wondrous goodness, love, and pow'r
Our grateful song rehearses:
For You have been our strength and stay
In many a dark and dreary day
Of sorrow and reverses.

5 Then, gracious God, in years to come,
We pray Your hand may guide us,
And, onward through our journey home,
Your mercy walk beside us
Until at last our ransomed life
Is safe from peril, toil, and strife
When heav'n itself shall hide us.

the Lord hath triumphed gloriously,
in power and might excelling;
the grave and hell are captive led,
lo! he returns, our glorious Head,
to his eternal dwelling.
2 The heavens with joy receive their Lord,
by saints, by angel hosts adored;
O day of exultation!
O earth, adore thy glorious King!
His rising, his ascension sing
with grateful adoration!
3 Our great High Priest hath gone before,
now on his church his grace to pour;
and still his love he giveth;
O may our hearts to him ascend;
may all within us upward tend
to him who ever liveth!

Author: Caroline V. Sandell-Berg; A. L. Skoog Meter: Irregular Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:19 First Line: Day by day and with each passing moment Lyrics: 1. Day by day and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best--
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
2. Ev'ry day the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
He whose name is Counselor and Pow'r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
"As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,"
This the pledge to me He made.
3. Help me then in ev'ry tribulation
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith's sweet consolation
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E'er to take, as from a father's hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till I reach the promised land. Used With Tune: BLOTT EN DAG

Thou Gracious Power
Author: Oliver W. Holmes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:6 First Line: Thou gracious Power, whose mercy lends Lyrics: 1 Thou gracious Power, whose mercy lends
The light of home, the smile of friends,
Our households in Thy care enfold
As Thou didst keep Thy folk of old.
2 Wilt Thou not hear us while we raise,
In sweet accord of solemn praise,
The voices that have mingled long
In joyous flow of mirth and song?
3 For all the blessings life has brought,
For all its sorrowing hours have taught,
For all we mourn, for all we keep,
The hands we clasp, the loved that sleep.
4 We thank Thee, Father! let Thy grace
Our loving circle still embrace,
Thy mercy shed its heavenly store,
Thy peace be with us evermore.
Amen. Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD
