As Powers of Good
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #265 (1998) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Hymnal Title: Common Praise (1998) First Line: As powers of good so wonderfully hide us Lyrics: 1 As powers of good so wonderfully hide us,
we face the future boldly, come what may;
at dawn or dusk our God is still beside us,
to whom we trust, completely, each new day.
2 Yet still old torments cause us consternation;
through days of fear and grief we have despaired;
O, give our tortured souls, Lord, your salvation:
the healing you have promised and prepared.
3 Then offer us the cup of desolation,
brimfull of bitterness, and we will stand
and drink with thanks, in spite of trepidation,
from such a dearly loved and gracious hand.
4 Yet should you bring us back to share the gladness
of this bright world, your sunshine breaking through,
we would remember times of pain and sadness
and offer up the whole of life to you.
5 As evening falls, the candles we have lighted
will point us through the darkness to your light;
we long to be with loved ones, reunited;
we know your love outshines the darkest night.
6 As silence deepens, let us hear the chorus
that harmonizes earth's discordant days,
poured out from the unseen that lies before us:
your children's soaring song of endless praise.
7 By powers of good so faithfully surrounded,
secure and comforted in spite of fear,
we live each day with you Lord, unconfounded,
and go with you to meet the coming year. Topics: New Year Scripture: Isaiah 51:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: BONHOEFFER

Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer; Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #413 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Hymnal Title: The New Century Hymnal First Line: By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
and confidently waiting, come what may,
We know that God is with us night and morning,
and never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
still evil days bring burdens, hard to bear;
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter sorrow, hard to understand,
We take it thankfully and without trembling,
out of so good and so beloved a hand.
4 Yet when again in this same world You give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
We shall remember all the days we lived through,
and our whole life shall then be yours alone.
