The year begins with Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #175 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The year begins with Thee, And Thou begin'st with woe, To let the world of sinners see That blood for sin must flow. 2 Thine infant cries, O Lord, Thy tears upon the breast Are not enough, the legal sword Must do its stern behest. 3 Seemeth it strange to me My own will to deny? Seemeth it sad, my soul, to Thee Under the yoke to lie? 4 I look, and hold my peace: The Giver of all good E'en from His birth takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 5 That I may reap in love, Help me to sow in fear: So life a winter's morn may prove To a bright endless year.

The ancient Law departs

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #176 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The ancient Law departs, And all its terrors cease; For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of peace. 2 The Light of light divine, True brightness undefiled, He bears for us the shame of sin, A holy, spotless Child. 3 His infant body now Begins our pain to feel; Those precious drops of blood that flow For death the victim seal. 4 Today the Name is Thine, At which we bend the knee; They call Thee Jesus, Child divine; Our Jesus deign to be. 5 All praise, eternal Son, For Thy redeeming love, With Father, Spirit, ever one, In glorious might above.

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #258 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, come! Let thy bright beams arise; Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. 2 Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love. 3 Convince us of our sin; Then lead to Jesus' blood, And to our wondering view reveal The mercies of our God. 4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life in every part, And new-create the whole. 6 Dwell, therefore, in our hearts; Our minds from bondage free; Then we shall know, and praise, and love, The Father, Son, and Thee.

Not all the blood of beasts

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #319 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood, than they. 3 My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burdens Thou didst bear, When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt was there. 5 Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing His bleeding love.

Not what these hands have done

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #320 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done Can save this guilty soul; Not what this toiling flesh has borne Can make my spirit whole. 2 Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears Can bear my awful load. 3 Thy work alone, O Christ, Can ease this weight of sin; Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, Can give me peace within. 4 Thy love to me, O God, Not mine, O Lord, to Thee, Can rid me of this dark unrest, And set my spirit free. 5 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy power alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break. 6 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love Divine; And, with unfaltering lip and heart, I call this Savior mine.

Grace! 'tis a charming sound

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #328 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Grace! ’tis a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear; Heav'n with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man; And all the steps that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace first inscribed my name In God’s eternal book; ’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, Who all my sorrows took. 4 Grace led my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God. 5 Grace taught my soul to pray, And made mine eyes o’erflow; ’Twas grace which kept me to this day, And will not let me go. 6 Grace all the work shall crown, Through everlasting days; It lays in heaven the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.

The man is ever blest

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #341 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners' ways; Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorners' place. 2 But makes the Law of God His study and delight, Amid the labors of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live; His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th'ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before the judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overflow.

We give Thee but Thine own

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #361 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 3 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless-- Is angels' work below. 4 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace-- It is a Christlike thing. 5 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee.
