You look upon the earth, and at your glance it sways with trembling, and above the hills a smoke ascends where you have touched their rest. 3 They wait for you alone, all living things, to have their food from you, and they are fed. When your hand opens they are satisfied; you give; they gather. When they think you far a trouble comes upon them and a dread. 4 They go again to be the dust they tread. You breathe upon the dust, they rise and are. I will sing praises to you while life fills my flesh with breath; as long as life shall stream from you within me, I will sing your light.

Morning Has Broken

Author: Eleanor Farjeon, 1881-1965 Hymnal: SLT1993 #38 (1993) Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Tune Title: BUNESSAN Lyrics: 1 Morning has broken like the first morning, blackbird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word! 2 Sweet the rain’s new fall sunlit from heaven, like the first dewfall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, sprung in completeness where God’s feet pass. 3 Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning born of the one light Eden saw play! Praise with elation, praise every morning, God’s recreation of the new day!

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: SLT1993 #244 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: CAROL Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, to all good will, from heaven the news we bring." The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled; and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing; and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 But with the woes of war and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the angel-strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and we who fight the wars hear not the love song which they bring. O hush the noise of battle strife, and hear the angels sing. 4 For, lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet bards foretold, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold: when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing.

Peace! The Perfect Word

Author: Odell Shepard, 1844-1967 Hymnal: SLT1993 #161 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Tune Title: CHARLESTON First Line: Peace! The perfect word is sounding Lyrics: 1 Peace! The perfect word is sounding, like a universal hymn under oceans, over mountains, to the world’s remotest rim. 2 Toiling centuries have struggled upward on a stony way just to set the torch of freedom where it flames aloft today. 3 All the old forlorn lost causes, every fair forbidden dream, and the prophet’s hopeless vision, and the poet’s fitting gleam, 4 All the hopes of subject peoples, all the dreams of the oppressed, must be ours, our hopes, our visions. We can never stay or rest. Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Peace; Hope Languages: English
