We give immortal praise

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #713 (2000) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We give immortal praise to God the Father's love for all our comforts here and better hopes above: he sent his own eternal Son, to die for sins that we had done. 2 To God the Son belongs immortal glory too, who bought us with his blood from everlasting woe: and now he lives, and now he reigns, and sees the fruit of all his pains. 3 To God the Spirit's name immortal worship give, whose new-creating pow'er makes the dead sinner live: his work completes the great design, and fills the soul with joy divine. 4 To God the Trinity be endless honours done, the undivided Three, and the mysterious One: where reason fails with all her pow'rs, there faith prevails, and love adores.

Come in, come in, New Year

Author: Shirley Murray, 1931- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #808 (1997) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come in, come in, New Year with sparkling winter day!* Your promise calls us here to celebrate and pray, through January's open door to stride with hopeful step once more. 2 Come in, New Year, and sell your wares of chance and change: engage us with your spell to risk and rearrange, to feel the Spirit's impulse beat, to follow down a different street. 3 For though December dies, still Christmas keeps the light, the hope in children's eyes, the star that shatters night; now Simeon and Anna see the child who rules all time to be. 4 The calendar of Christ will mark the seasons' turn; his story claim our trust; his love be ours to learn. For all the world, for young and old, we pray a year of peace unfold! *original words: shining summer day Topics: Christmas; Hope; Old and New Year; Prayer / Prayers / Poems; Promise; Trust Scripture: Luke 2:25-32 Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136TH

Ye Holy Angels Bright

Author: Richard Baxter Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7760 Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.8 Lyrics: 1. Ye holy angels bright, Who stand before God’s throne And dwell in glorious light, Praise ye the Lord each one. Assist our song, or else the theme Too high doth seem for mortal tongue. 2. Ye blessèd souls at rest, That see your Savior’s face, Whose glory, e’en the least, Is far above our grace. God’s praises sound, as in His sight With sweet delight you do abound. 3. Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly king, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what He gives and praise Him still, Through good or ill, who ever lives! 4. All nations of the earth, Extol the world’s great King: With melody and mirth His glorious praises sing, For He still reigns, and will bring low The proudest foe that Him disdains. 5. Sing forth Jehovah’s praise, Ye saints, that on Him call! Him magnify always His holy churches all! In Him rejoice and there proclaim His holy name with sounding voice. 6. My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above, And with a well tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love. And all my days let no distress Nor fears suppress His joyful praise. 7. Away, distrustful care! I have Thy promise, Lord: To banish all despair, I have Thine oath and Word: And therefore I shall see Thy face And there Thy grace shall magnify. 8. With Thy triumphant flock Then I shall numbered be; Built on th’eternal rock, His glory shall we see. The heav’ns so high With praise shall ring And all shall sing in harmony.
