For Thy mercy and Thy grace

Author: H. Downton Hymnal: LHPN1913 #213 (1913) Lyrics: 1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace, Constant through another year, Hear our song of thankfulness; Jesus, our Redeemer, hear. 2 Lo, our sins on Thee we cast, Thee, our perfect sacrifice; And, forgetting all the past, Press toward our glorious prize. 3 Dark the future; let Thy light Guide us, bright and morning Star: Fierce our foes, and hard the fight; Arm us, Savior, for the war. 4 In our weakness and distress, Rock of strength, be Thou our stay; In the pathless wilderness Be our true and living way. 5 Who of us death's awful road In the coming year shall tread? With Thy rod and staff, O God, Comfort Thou his dying bed. 6 Keep us faithful, keep us pure, Keep us evermore Thine own; Help, O help us to endure; Fit us for the promised crown.

Great God! we sing that mighty hand

Author: P. Doddridge Hymnal: LHPN1913 #214 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty hand, By which supported still we stand: The opening year Thy mercy shows-- Let mercy crown it to its close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still we are 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 Thy guardian care commit, And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or depressed, Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt our songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues, Our helper God, in whom we trust, Shall keep our souls and guard our dust.

Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us

Author: J. Edmeston Hymnal: LHPN1913 #215 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea; Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee: Yet possessing every blessing, If our God our Father be. 2 Savior, breathe forgiveness o'er us; All our weakness Thou dost know; Thou didst tread this earth before us, Thou didst feel its keenest woe; Lone and dreary, faint and weary, Through the desert Thou didst go. 3 Spirit of our God, descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy; Love all other love transcending, Pleasure that can never cloy: Thus provided, pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy.

As God doth lead me I will go

Author: L. Gedicke Hymnal: LHPN1913 #216 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 As God doth lead me I will go; I do not ask to choose my way; Content with what He doth bestow, Assured He will not let me stray. So as He leads, My path I make, And step by step I gladly take, A child in Him confiding. 2 As God doth lead I am content; I rest me calmly in His hands; That which He has decreed and sent-- That which His will for me commands, I would that He should all fulfill: That I should do His gracious will In living or in dying. 3 As God doth lead I all resign; I trust me to my Father's will; When reason's rays deceptive shine, His counsel would I yet fulfill-- That which His love ordained as right, Before He bought me to the light,-- My all to Him resigning. 4 As God doth lead me I abide, In faith, in hope, is suffering true; His strength is ever by my side-- Can aught my hold on Him undo? So patiently i wait and know That God, who doth my life bestow, In kindness all is sending. 5 As God doth lead I onward go, Though oft 'mid thorns and briers keen; God does not yet His guidance show-- But in the end it shall be seen How, by a loving Father's will, Faithful and true, He leads me still,-- Thus anchored, faith is resting.

Why do the heathen rage?

Author: B. H. Kennedy Hymnal: LHPN1913 #217 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Why do the heathen rage? What are the nations dreaming? In vain against the Lord And His Anointed scheming, Kings of the earth arise, And leaguéd rulers say: "Come, let us break their bands, And cast their cords away." 2 He who is throned in heaven Derides their preparation; The Lord upon them pours His scornful indignation: Soon shall His voice of wrath Their souls with terror thrill "Yet I have set my King On Zion's holy hill."-- 3 Now will I cry aloud And tell the Lord's great token: "Thou art My Son," He saith: To me the word was spoken: "Yea, Thee have I this day Begotten: ask of Me, And Thine the heathen, Thine Earth's utmost parts shall be: 4 Beneath Thine iron rod Thy foemen shall be shattered, As by the potter's hand The broken shreds lie scattered." Be wise, then, O ye kings, Ye earthly judges, hear; Serve ye the Lord with awe, Rejoice with trembling fear. 5 Bow down and kiss the Son, Lest, if His wrath awaken, Ye fail and fade away, For evermore forsaken. Soon may His anger burn, A lightly kindled flame; Then blessed are all they That trust His holy name.

O Lord, hear Thou my calling

Author: Clement Marot Hymnal: LHPN1913 #218 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, hear Thou my calling, Out of the deep I cry: O make my prayer availing; With aid to me draw nigh: O mark my lamentation, My restless sighing hear, And to my supplication Incline thy gracious ear. 2 If Thou shouldst mark abuses And strict account demand, O Lord, with what excuses Could we before Thee stand? But if with true contrition Our sins we mourn and blame, Thou savest from perdition That we may fear Thy name. 3 In God my hope abideth, My trust is in the Lord, My soul in Him confideth And builds upon His word: My soul for Him is yearning, More longing for His grace Than daylight's sweet returning The watchman longs to trace. 4 Be God thy strong foundation, Thou chosen Israel; Thy God with whom salvation And mercy ever dwell; His river ever streameth With pardon full and free, He Israel redeemeth From all iniquity.

As with gladness men of old

Author: W. C. Dix Hymnal: LHPN1913 #219 (1913) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright, So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore, So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light; Thou its light, its joy, its crown, Thou its sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King.

The Morning Star upon us gleams

Author: Philipp Nicolai Hymnal: LHPN1913 #220 (1913) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 The Morning Star upon us gleams; How full of grace and truth His beams, How passing pair His splendor! Good Shepherd, David's proper heir, My King in heaven, Thou dost me bear Upon Thy bosom tender. Nearest, Dearest, Highest, brightest, Thou delightest Still to love me, Thou, so high enthroned above me. 2 Strike deep into this heart of mine Thy rays of love, Thou Star divine, And fire its dying embers: And grant that naught have power to part Me from Thy body, Lord, who art The life of all Thy members. I stand, Thy hand Ever taking, Ne'er forsaking; Naught shall ail me: Bread of life, Thou wilt not fail me. 3 O holy Jesus, when the light Of Thy dear face shines on me bright, Then heavenly joy doth thrill me. O Lord, my sure and steadfast good, Thy word, Thy Spirit, body, blood,-- With life, new life, they fill me. This day, I pray: Mercy showing, Grace bestowing, Look on me, Lord, Thy own word is all my plea, Lord. 4 Thou, mighty Father, in Thy Son Didst love me, ere Thou hadst begun This ancient world's foundation. Thy Son hath made a friend of me, And when in spirit Him I see I've done with tribulation. What bliss Is this! Where He liveth Me He giveth Life for ever; Nothing me from Him can sever. 5 Lift up the voice and strike the string, Let all glad sounds of music ring In God's high praises blended. Christ will be with me all the way, Today, tomorrow, every day, Till traveling days be ended. Sing out, Ring out Triumph glorious, O victorious, Chosen nation; Praise the God of your salvation.

O Christ, our true and only light

Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: LHPN1913 #221 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice, And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze, And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, O gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall the wanderers from Thy fold. Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.

O blessed Babe divine

Author: F. J. Burmeister Hymnal: LHPN1913 #222 (1913) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 O blessed Babe divine, What offerings shall we give Thee? The gold of faith be Thine: For we will still believe Thee. O fill our eager hearts With Thy refreshing grace, And make them fit to be Thy chosen dwelling-place. 2 Let frankincense aspire, Pure sighs of sweetest savor, Which pine with fond desire' To find Thy gracious favor. O make them purer yet, And send Thy Spirit down, The altar of our hearts With holy fire to crown. 3 And myrrh, too, we prepare, Our bitter tribulation, Such grief as Thou didst bear For us and our salvation. Be strength and courage ours In toll and tears and pain, With Thee to wear the yoke, The cross with Thee sustain. 4 Lo, all of ours is Thine, Each hope and thought and feeling: Come, blessed Babe divine, Thyself in us revealing. To Thee, and God in Thee, Our dearest wishes tend: O make us thine and His Through ages without end. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany; The Church Year Epiphany Tune Title: [O blessed Babe divine]
