Author: John Haynes Holmes, 1879-1964; David Johnson, 1943- Hymnal: SLT1993 #82 (1993) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 This land of bursting sunrise, all lavender and blue, its cloud-strewn, light-swept day skies flow, and every day renew. To east the glow of dawning, to west the blaze of night, ‘round all the long horizon’s rim, the everlasting light! 2 This land of open vistas, life rooted deep and free, thy canyoned plains, thy mountains vast, plumb earth’s immensity. Here in life’s fragile balance, the sun and stars above, find hand in hand, and heart to heart, the everlasting love.

Although This Life Is But a Wraith

Author: Louis Untermeyer, 1885-1977 Hymnal: SLT1993 #85 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Although this life is but a wraith, although we know not what we use, although we grope with little faith, give me the heart to fight and lose. 2 Open my ears to music, let me thrill with spring’s first flutes and drums — but never let me dare forget the bitter ballads of the slums. 3 Ever insurgent let me be, make me more daring than devout; from sleek contentment keep me free, and fill me with a buoyant doubt. 4 From compromise and things half-done, keep me, with stern and stubborn pride; and when, at last, the fight is won, O, keep me still unsatisfied.

E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me; still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 2 Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, darkness be over me, my rest a stone; yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to thee, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee. 3 There let the way appear steps unto heaven; all that thou sendest me in mercy given; angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to thee, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee. 4 Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise, out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; so by my woes to be nearer, my God, to thee, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee. 5 Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky, sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
