Deep in the Shadows of the Past
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Glory to God #50 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past,
far out from settled lands,
some nomads traveled with their God
across the desert sands.
The dawning hope of humankind
by them was sensed and shown:
a promise calling them ahead,
a future yet unknown.
2 While others bowed to changeless gods,
they met a mystery,
invisible, without a name:
"I AM WHAT I WILL BE";
and by their tents, around their fires
in story, song, and law,
they praised, remembered, handed on
a past that promised more.
3 From Exodus to Pentecost
the promise changed and grew,
while some, remembering the past,
recorded what they knew,
or with their letters and laments,
their prophecy and praise,
recovered, kindled, and expressed
new hope for changing days.
4 For all the writings that survived,
for leaders, long ago,
who sifted, copied, and preserved
the Bible that we know,
give thanks, and find its story yet
our promise, strength, and call,
the model of emerging faith,
alive with hope for all.

Deep in the Shadows of the Past
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #320 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past,
far out from settled lands,
some nomads traveled with their God
across the desert sands.
The dawning hope of humankind
by them was sensed and shown:
a promise calling them ahead,
a future yet unknown.
2 While others bowed to changeless gods,
they met a mystery:
a hidden, uncompleted Name -
"I AM WHAT I WILL BE";
And by their tents, around their fires,
in story, song, and law,
they praised, remembered, handed on
a past that promised more.
3 From Abraham to Nazareth
the promise changed and grew,
while some, remembering the past,
recorded what they knew,
and some, in letters and laments,
in prophecy and praise,
recovered, kindled, and expressed
new hope for changing days.
4 For all the writings that survived,
for leaders, long ago,
who sifted, copied, and preserved
the Bible that we know,
Give thanks and find its story yet
our promise, strength, and call:
the working model of our faith,
alive with hope for all. Topics: Biblical Names; Children; Hymns About the Bible Languages: English Tune Title: SHEPHERDS' PIPES

Deep in the Shadows of the Past
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #330 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past,
Far out from settled lands,
Some nomads traveled with their God
Across the desert sands.
The dawning hope of humankind
Was glimpsed by them alone:
A promise calling them ahead,
A future yet unknown.
2 While others bowed to changeless gods
They met a mystery:
God with an uncompleted name,
"I am what I will be"'
And by their tents, around their fires,
In story, song and law
They praised, remembered, handed on
A past that promised more.
3 From Abraham to Nazareth
The promise changed and grew,
While some, remembering the past,
Recorded what they knew,
And some, in letters or laments,
In prophecy and praise,
Recovered, held, and re-expressed
New hope for changing days.
4 For all the writings that survived,
For leaders, long ago,
Who sifted, chose, and then preserved
The Bible that we know,
Give thanks, and find its promise yet
Our comfort, strength and call,
The working model of our faith,
Alive with hope for all.
