God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Hymnal: Voices United #686 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Epiphany 4 Year A; Lent 3 Year A; Easter 5 Year A; Proper 15 Year A; Proper 28 Year A; Reign of Christ Year A; Lent 2 Year B; Lent 3 Year B; Proper 6 Year B; Proper 7 Year B; Reign of Christ Year B; Easter 6 Year C; Easter 6 Year C; Proper 10 Year C; Proper 15 Year C; Proper 22 Year C Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on your people pour your power; now fulfil your church’s story; bring its bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us scorn your Christ, assail your ways; fears and doubts too long have bound us; free our hearts to work and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN

Greet Now the Swiftly Changing Year

Author: Jaroslav J. Vajda, 1919-2008 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #999 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: New Year Lyrics: 1 Greet now the swiftly changing year With joy and penitence sincere. Rejoice, rejoice, with thanks embrace Another year of grace. 2 When Jesus came to wage sin's war, The Name of names for us he bore. Rejoice, rejoice, with thanks embrace Another year of grace. 3 His love abundant far exceeds The volume of a whole year's needs. Rejoice, rejoice, with thanks embrace Another year of grace. 4 With such a Lord to lead our way In hazard or prosperity, What need we fear in earth or space In this new year of grace? 5 "All glory be to God on high, And peace on earth!" the angels cry. Rejoice, rejoice, with thanks embrace Another year of grace. 6 God, Father, Son, and Spirit, hear: To all our pleas incline your ear; Upon our lives rich blessing trace In this new year of grace.

On a Year of threatening Rain

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: How hast thou Lord, from year to year Lyrics: 1 How hast thou Lord, from year to year, Our land with plenty crown'd? And generous fruit and golden grain Have spread their riches round. 2 But we Thy mercies have abus'd To more abounding crimes: What heights, what daring heights in sin Mark and disgrace our times! 3 Equal tho' awful is the doom, That fierce descending rain Should into inundations swell, And crush the rising grain! 4 How just that in the autumn’s reign, When we had hop'd to reap, Our fields of sorrow and despair Should lie a hedious heap. 5 But, Lord, have mercy on our land, Those floods of vengeance stay; Dispel these glooms, and let the sun Shine in unclouded day! 6 To thee alone we look for help; None else of dew or rain Can give the world the smallest drop, Or smallest drop restrain.

The Old Year Now Hath Passed Away

Author: Jacob Tapp Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #59 (1927) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: New Year Lyrics: 1 The old year now hath passed away, We thank Thee, O our God, to-day, That Thou hast kept us thru the year, When danger and distress were near. 2 We pray Thee, O eternal Son, Who with the Father reign’st as one, To guard and rule Thy Christendom Thru all the ages yet to come. 3 Take not Thy saving word away, Our souls’ true comfort, staff, and stay; Abide with us and keep us free From errors, following only Thee. 4 O help us to forsake all sin, A new and holier course begin; Mark not what once was done amiss, A happier, better year be this: 5 Wherein as Christians we may live, Or die in peace that Thou canst give, To rise again when Thou shalt come And enter Thine eternal home, 6 There shall we thank Thee, and adore, With all the angels evermore; Lord Jesus Christ, increase our faith To praise Thy name through life and death.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Voices United #62 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Year C; Christian Year Christmas; Advent 4 Year A; Christmas Eve Year A; Christmas 1 Year A; Christmas 2 Year A; Epiphany Year A; Epiphany 5 Year A; Epiphany 6 Year A; Advent 4 Year B; Christmas Eve Year B; Christmas 1 Year B; Advent 3 Year C; Christmas 1 Year C Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle-shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, who, with God is over all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. There among the poor and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 For he is our lifelong pattern; daily, when on earth he grew; he was tempted, scorned, rejected, tears and smiles like us he knew. Thus he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child who seemed so helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone.
