Great God, we sing Your mighty hand
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #132 (2004) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing Your mighty hand
by which supported still we stand;
the opening year Your mercy shows;
that mercy crowns its lingering close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
still are we guarded by our God;
by His incessant bounty fed,
by His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
the future, all to us unknown,
we to Your guardian care commit,
and peaceful leave before Your feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
You are our joy, You are our rest;
Your goodness all our hopes shall raise,
adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt these songs,
and seal in silence mortal tongues,
our helper God, in whom we trust,
shall keep our souls and guard our dust. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
Great God, we sing Your mighty hand
Heavenly Father, You have brought us
Author: Hester Periam Hawkins, 1848-1928 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #133 (2004) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, You have brought us
safely to the present day,
gently leading on our footsteps,
watching o’er us all the way.
Friend and guide through life’s long journey,
grateful hearts to You we bring;
but for love so true and changeless
how shall we fit praises sing?
2 Mercies new and never-failing
brightly shine through all the past,
watchful care and loving-kindness
always near from first to last,
tender love, divine protection
ever with us day and night;
blessings more than we can number
strew the path with golden light.
3 Shadows deep have crossed our pathway,
we have trembled in the storm;
clouds have gathered round so darkly
that we could not see Your form;
yet Your love has never left us
in our griefs to be alone,
and the help each gave the other
was the strength that is Your own.
4 Many that we loved have left us,
reaching first their journey’s end;
now they wait to give us welcome,
brother, sister, child, and friend.
When at last our journey’s over,
and we pass away from sight,
Father, take us through the darkness
into everlasting light. Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON
Heavenly Father, You have brought us
March on, my soul, with strength
Author: William Wright, 1859-1924 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #134 (2004) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Lyrics: 1 March on, my soul, with strength,
march forward, void of fear;
He who has led will lead,
through each succeeding year;
and as you journey on your way,
His hand shall hold you day by day.
2 March on, my soul, with strength,
in ease you dare not dwell;
high duty calls you forth;
then up, and quit you well!
Take up your cross, take up your sword,
and fight the battles of your Lord!
3 March on, my soul, with strength,
with strength, but not your own;
the conquest you shall gain,
through Christ your Lord alone;
His grace shall nerve your feeble arm,
His love preserve you safe from harm.
4 March on, my soul, with strength,
from strength to strength march on;
warfare shall end at length,
all foes be overthrown.
Then, O my soul, if faithful now,
the crown of life awaits your brow. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTCHURCH
March on, my soul, with strength
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #145 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Old Year and the New Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Lord, Through All the Generations
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #185 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Old Year Lyrics: 1 Lord, through all the generations
Of the children of our race,
In our fears and tribulations,
Thou hast been our dwelling-place.
Ere the vast and wide creation
By Thy word was cased to be,
Or the mountains held their station,
Thou art God eternally.
2 Each succeeding generation
At Thy mighty word appears;
Thou dost count in time's duration
One day as a thousand years.
Death, with swift and sudden warning,
Calls us from life's dream away,
Like the grass, green in the morning,
Withered ere the close of day.
3 Long the clouds of evil lower;
Bless us now with gladsome days;
Let Thy servants see Thy power,
Let their children learn Thy praise.
On us let the grace and beauty
Of the Lord our God remain,
Strengthen us for noble duty
That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: EMMELAR (RICHARDS)
Lord, Through All the Generations
My times are in Your hand
Author: William Freeman Lloyd, 1791-1853 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #516 (2004) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Lyrics: 1 My times are in Your hand;
my God, I wish them there!
My life, my friends, my soul, I leave
entirely to Your care.
2 My times are in Your hand
whatever they may be,
pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
as You know best for me.
3 My times are in Your hand;
why should I doubt or fear?
My Father's hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
4 My times are in Your hand:
Jesus, the Crucified;
those hands my cruel sins had pierced
are now my guard and guide.
5 My times are in Your hand;
such faith You give to me
that after death, at Your right hand
I shall for ever be. Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS (RIPON)
My times are in Your hand
Lord of creation, giver of gladness
Author: David Mowbray, b. 1938 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #577 (2004) Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Languages: English Tune Title: BUNESSAN
Lord of creation, giver of gladness
Days and moments quickly flying
Author: Rev. E. Caswall Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #621 (1894) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Old Year Lyrics: 1 Days and moments quickly flying
Speed us onward to the dead:
OH, how soon shall we be lying
Each within his narrow bed!
2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer,
Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice;
Wake, oh, wake, each idle dreamer
Now to make the eternal choice!
3 Mark me whither we are wending;
Ponder how we soon must go
To inherit bliss unending
Or eternity of woe.
Life passeth soon;
Death draweth near;
Keep us, good Lord,
Till Thou appear;
With Thee to live,
With Thee to die,
With Thee to reign
Through eternity!
4 As a shadow life is fleeting;
As a vapor so it flies;
For the bygone years retreating
Pardon grant, and make us wise;
5 Wise that we our days may number,
Strive and wrestle with our sin;
Stay not in our work, nor slumber
Till Thy holy rest we win.
6 Soon before the Judge all glorious
We with all the dead shall stand:
Saviour, over death victorious,
Place us then on Thy right hand.
Life passeth soon;
Death draweth near;
Keep us, good Lord,
Till Thou appear;
With Thee to live,
With Thee to die,
With Thee to reign
Through eternity!
Amen.

God Is My Strength! I Bless His Name
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #56 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Old Year Lyrics: 1 God is my strength! I bless his name;
the same his pow'r, his grace the same;
the tokens of his friendly care
open and close and crown the year.
2 I 'midst ten thousand dangers stand,
supported by his guardian hand,
and see, when I survey my ways,
ten thousand momuments of praise.
3 Thus far his arm has led me on,
thus far I make his mercy known,
and whle I tread this desert land,
new mercies shall new songs demand.
4 My grateful soul on Jordan's shore
shall raise one sacred pillar more,
then bear in his bright courts above,
inscriptions of immortal love.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Languages: English Tune Title: KENT
God Is My Strength! I Bless His Name
With Firm Resolve I Held My Peace
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #75 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Old Year Lyrics: 1 With firm resolve I held my peace
And spake not either bad or good,
Lest I should utter sinful thoughts
While wicked men before me stood.
2 While I was dumb my grief was stirred,
My heart grew hot with thought suppressed;
The while I mused the fire increased,
Then to the Lord I made request.
3 Make me, O Lord, to know my end,
Teach me the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am
And turn from pride and sinful ways.
4 My time is nothing in Thy sight,
Behold, my days are but a span;
yea, truly at his best estate,
A breath, a fleeting breath, is man.
5 Man's life is passed in vain desire
If troubled years be spent for gain;
He knows not whose his wealth shall be,
And all his toil is but in vain.
6 And now, O Lord, what wait I for?
I have no nope except in Thee;
Let not ungodly men reproach,
From all transgression set me free.
7 Because Thou didst it I was dumb,
I spoke no word of rash complaint;
Remove Thy stroke away from me,
Beneath Thy chastisement I faint.
8 When Thou for his iniquity
Rebukest and correctest man,
His beauty is consumed away;
How weak his strength, how vain his plan.
9 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry;
I weep; be Thou my Comforter.
I am a stranger here below,
A pilgrim as my fathers were.
10 O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath,
Deal gently with me, I implore,
That I may yet recover strength
Ere I go hence and be no more. Scripture: Psalm 39 Languages: English Tune Title: BERA
With Firm Resolve I Held My Peace
