No track is on the sunny sky

Author: Faber Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #275 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Invisible Companion Lyrics: 1 No track is on the sunny sky, No footprints on the air: Jesus hath gone; the face of earth Is desolate and bare. 2 That upper room is heaven on earth; Within its precincts lie All that earth has of faith or hope Or heaven-born charity. 3 One moment--and the silentness Was breathless as the grave: The fluttered earth forgot to quake, The troubled trees to wave. 4 He comes! he comes! that mighty breath From heaven's eternal shores; His uncreated freshness fills His Bride, as she adores. 5 Earth quakes before that rushing blast, Heaven echoes back the sound, And mightily the tempest wheels That upper room around. 6 One moment--and the Spirit hung O'er all with dread desire; Then broke upon the heads of all In cloven tongues of fire!

Here hangs a man discarded

Author: Brian Arthur Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Together in Song #356 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: Jesus Christ Friend and Companion Lyrics: 1 Here hangs a man discarded, a scarecrow hoisted high, a nonsense pointing nowhere to all who hurry by. 2 Can such a clown of sorrows still bring a useful word when faith and love seem phantoms and every hope absurd? 3 Can he give help or comfort to lives by comfort bound, where drums of dazzling progress give strangely hollow sound? 4 Life emptied of all meaning, drained out in bleak distress, can share in broken silence our deepest emptiness; 5 and love that freely entered the pit of life's despair can name our hidden darkness and suffer with us there. 6 Christ, in our darkness risen, help all who long for light to hold the hand of promise, and walk into the night. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Languages: English Tune Title: SHURB END
