Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Hymnal: SLT1993 #12 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Life that maketh all things new, the blooming earth, our thoughts within, our pilgrim feet, wet with thy dew, in gladness hither turn again. 2 From hand to hand the greeting flows, from eye to eye the signals run, from heart to heart the bright hope glows, the seekers of the light are one: 3 One in the freedom of the truth, one in the joy of paths untrod, one in the soul’s perennial youth, one in the larger thought of God; 4 The freer step, the fuller breath, the wide horizon’s grander view, the sense of life that knows no death, the Life that maketh all things new.

Songs of Spirit

Author: Marion Franklin Ham, 1868-1956 Hymnal: SLT1993 #13 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Songs of spirit, like a prayer Lyrics: 1 Songs of spirit, like a prayer breathing in the ambient air; singing in the morning light, in the radiance of the day, in the twilight shadows gray, in the brooding hush of night; dark or light, or storm, or fair — singing, singing everywhere. 2 In the burgeoning of spring, in the summer’s scented bloom, in the autumn’s mellow glow, in the winter’s ice and snow; shade, or shine, or joy, or gloom, as the seasons come and go, break and bare, or blossoming — still the songs that sing and sing! 3 Singing, singing everywhere, at the heart of everything, in my soul I hear them sing; mystic music of the spheres; songs that, with my utmost art, I can only catch in part; broken echoes, cold and bare, of the songs my spirit hears.
