O World, Thou Choosest Not the Better Part

Author: George Santayana, 1863-1952 Hymnal: SLT1993 #341 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: O world, thou choosest not the better part! Lyrics: 1 O world, thou choosest not the better part! It is not wisdom to be only wise, and on the inward vision close the eyes, but it is wisdom to believe the heart. To trust the soul’s invincible surmise is all of science and our only art. 2 Our knowledge is a torch of smoky pine that lights the pathway but one step ahead across a void of mystery and dread. Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine by which alone the mortal heart is led unto the thinking of the thought divine.

Praise, O My Heart, to You

Author: Ridgely Torrence, 1875-1950 Hymnal: SLT1993 #284 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Praise, O my heart, to you, O Source of Life Lyrics: 1 Praise, O my heart, to you, O Source of Life, you are my tide of joy, my sea, my shore, my field of sky with stars that never set; now I will learn your wonders all my days, and my vain ways in darkness be no more. 2 Your glory is forever, and with dance you move among your works and they to you. 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.

Oh, Give Us Pleasure in the Flowers Today

Author: Robert Frost, 1875-1963 Hymnal: SLT1993 #64 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today, and give us not to think so far away as the uncertain harvest; keep us here all simply in the springing of the year. 2 Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night; and make us happy in the happy bees, the swarm dilating round the perfect trees. 3 And make us happy in the darting bird that suddenly above the bees is heard, the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill, and off a blossom in mid air stands still. 4 For this is love and nothing else is love, the which it is reserved for God above to sanctify to what far ends he will, but which it only needs that we fulfill.

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.
