Thou Who Roll'st the Year Around

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 52 hymnals 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 forever fled, All its sorrows felt no more. 4 Mingled with th’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! Amen.

What! Is This The Only Rest?

Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: What! Is this the only rest Lyrics: 1 What! Is this the only rest Earth affords her heavenly guest? For the Child she had no room, To the Man she gives—a tomb. 2 O, Thou weary Man of Love, Here is stone around, above; ’Tis the dark world’s stony heart, Enter, and fulfill Thy part. 3 Tender linen swathes Thee round, And a napkin soft is bound O’er Thy features sorrow-worn, And Thy brow so sharply torn. 4 Such a day deserves its night, O, sleep on and gather might; When it pleases Thee to wake, Tomb and world alike shall shake.
