On the Dusty Earth Drum
Author: Joseph S. Cotter, Jr., 1895-1919 Hymnal: SLT1993 #74 (1993) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 On the dusty earth drum
beats the falling rain;
now a whispered murmur,
now a louder strain.
2 Slender, silvery drumsticks
on an ancient drum
beat the mellow music
bidding life to come.
3 Chords of life awakened,
notes of greening spring,
rise and fall triumphant
over everything.
4 Slender, silvery drumsticks
beat the long tattoo —
God, the Great Musician,
calling life anew. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The World of Nature; The Arts; Earth; Spring Languages: English Tune Title: WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN

The Harp at Nature's Advent
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: SLT1993 #75 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The harp at Nature's advent strung Lyrics: 1 The harp at Nature’s advent strung has never ceased to play;
the song the stars of morning sung
has never died away.
2 The prayer is made, and praise is given,
by all things near and far;
the ocean looketh up to heaven
and mirrors every star.
3 The green earth sends sweet incense up
from many mountain shrines;
from folded leaf and dewy cup
now pours the sacred wine.
4 The blue sky is the temple’s arch,
its transept, earth and air;
the music of its starry march,
the chorus of a prayer.
5 So nature keeps the reverent frame
with which all years begin;
and nature’s signs and voices shame
the prayerless heart within. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The World of Nature; The Arts; Celebration and Praise; Dedication of a Building; Earth; Flower Communion; Morning Languages: English Tune Title: WALDEN

Seek Not Afar for Beauty
Author: Minot Judson Savage, 1841-1918 Hymnal: SLT1993 #77 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Seek not afar for beauty; lo, it glows Lyrics: 1 Seek not afar for beauty; lo, it glows
in dew-wet grasses all bout your feet,
in birds, in sunshine, childish faces sweet,
in stars and mountain summits topped with snows.
2 Go not abroad for happiness; behold
it is a flower blooming at your door.
Bring love and justice home, and evermore
joy shall be yours as changing years unfold.
3 In wonder-workings or some bush aflame,
we look for Truth and fancy it concealed;
but in earth's common things it stands revealed,
while grass and flowers and stars spell out the name. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The World of Nature; Beauty; Free and Responsible Search for Truth and Meaning; The Living Tradition Languages: English Tune Title: COOLINGE

No Number Tallies Nature Up
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882 Hymnal: SLT1993 #79 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 No number tallies nature up,
no tribe its house can fill;
it is the shining fount of life
and pours the deluge still.
And gathers by its fragile powers
along the centuries
from race on race the rarest flowers,
its wreath shall nothing miss.
2 It writes the past in characters
of rock and fire and scroll,
the building in the coral sea,
the planting of the coal.
And thefts from satellites and rings
and broken stars it drew,
and out of spent and aged things
it formed the world anew.
3 Must time and tide forever run,
nor winds sleep in the west?
Will never wheels which whirl the sun
and satellites have rest?
Yet whirl the glowing wheels once more,
and mix the bowl again;
seethe, Fate, the ancient elements,
heat, cold, and peace, and pain.
4 Blend war and trade and creeds
and song, let ripen race on race,
the sunburnt world that we shall breed
of all the countless days.
No ray is dimmed, no atom worn,
the oldest force is new,
and fresh the rose on yonder thorn
gives back the heavens in dew. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The World of Nature; The Living Tradition; These Things Shall Be Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION
No Number Tallies Nature Up
