John 12:24

• [Joh 12:24] Morn’s Roseate Hues Have Decked The Sky

  Morn’s roseate hues have decked the sky; The Lord has risen with victory: Let earth be glad, and raise the cry, Alleluia! The Prince of Life with death has striv’n, To cleanse the earth His blood has giv’n; Has rent the veil, and opened Heav’n: Alleluia! And He, the wheat-corn, sown in earth, Has giv’n a glorious harvest-birth, Rejoice, and sing with holy mirth: Alleluia! And he, dear Lord, that with Thee dies, And fleshly passions crucifies, In body, like to Thine, shall rise: Alleluia! O grant us then, with Thee to die, To spurn earth’s fleeting vanity, And love the things above the sky: Alleluia! Oh, praise the Father, and the Son, Who has for us the triumph won, And holy Ghost—the Three in One: Alleluia!

John 15:4

• [Joh 15:4] Old Year Now Hath Passed Away, The

  The old year now hath passed away; We thank Thee, O our God, today That Thou hast kept us through the year When danger and distress were near. We pray Thee, O eternal Son, Who with the Father reign’st as One, To guard and rule Thy Christendom Through all the ages yet to come. 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. Oh, 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, 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. 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.
