Great God! let all our tuneful powers

Author: Heginbotham Hymnal: VoP1873 #983 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God! let all our tuneful powers Awake, and sing thy mighty name; Thy hand rolls on our circling hours,-- The hand from which our being came. 2 Seasons and moons revolving round In beauteous order speak thy praise; And years, with smiling mercy crowned, To thee successive honors raise. 3 Each changing season on our souls Its sweetest, kindest influence sheds; And every period, as it rolls, Showers countless blessings on our heads. 4 Our lives, our health, our friends, we owe All to thy vast, unbounded love; Ten thousand precious gifts below, And hope of nobler joys above.

The leaves, around me falling

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #984 (1873) Lyrics: 1 The leaves, around me falling, Are preaching of decay; The hollow winds are calling, Come, pilgrim, come away! The day, in night declining, Says I must, too decline; The year, its life resigning,-- Its lot foreshadows mine. 2 The light my path surrounding, The loves to which I cling, The hopes within me bounding, The joys that round me wing,-- All melt, like stars of even Before the morning's ray,-- Pass upward into heaven, And chide at my delay. 3 The friends, gone there before me, Are calling from on high; And joyous angels o'er me Tempt sweetly to the sky; Why wait, they say, and wither 'Mid scenes of death and sin? Oh, rise to glory, hither, And find true life begin. Topics: The Seasons; Autumn

Stern winter throws his icy chains

Author: Mrs. Steele Hymnal: VoP1873 #985 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Stern winter throws his icy chains Encircling nature round; How bleak, how comfortless the plains, Late with gay verdure crowned. 2 The sun withdraws his vital beams, And light and warmth depart; And drooping, lifeless nature seems An emblem of my heart. 3 Return, O blissful Sun, and bring Thy soul-reviving ray: This mental winter shall be spring, This darkness turn to day. 4 Oh, happy state! divine abode! Where spring eternal reigns, And perfect day, the smile of God, Fills all the heavenly plains. 5 Great Source of light, thy beams display, My drooping joys restore! And guide me to the seats of day, Where winter frowns no more. Topics: The Seasons; Winter

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #990 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Thou who roll'st the year around, Crowned with mercies large and free, Rich thy gifts to us abound, Warm our praise shall rise to thee. 2 Kindly to our worship bow, While our grateful thanks we tell, That, sustained by thee, we now Bid the parting year farewell! 3 All its numbered days are sped, All its busy scenes are o'er, All its joys for ever fled, All its sorrows felt no more. 4 Mingled with the eternal past, Its remembrance shall decay; Yet to be revived at last At the solemn judgment-day. 5 All our follies, Lord, forgive! Cleanse us from each guilty stain; Let thy grace within us live, That we spend not years in vain. 6 Then, when life's last eve shall come, Happy spirits, may we fly To our everlasting home, To our Father's house on high!

While, with ceaseless course, the sun

Author: Newton Hymnal: VoP1873 #993 (1873) Lyrics: 1 While, with ceaseless course, the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here. Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below: We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know. 2 Spared to see another year, Let thy blessing meet us here; Come, thy dying work revive, Bid thy drooping garden thrive: Sun of righteousness, arise! Warm our hearts and bless our eyes; Let our prayer thy pity move, Make this year a time of love. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live, With eternity in view; Bless thy word to old and young; Fill us with a Saviour's love; When our life's short race is run, May we dwell with thee above.
