May Nothing Evil Cross This Door

Author: Louis Untermeyer, 1885-1977 Hymnal: SLT1993 #1 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 May nothing evil cross this door, and may ill fortune never pry about these windows; may the roar and rain go by. 2 By faith made strong, the rafters will withstand the battering of the storm. This hearth, though all the world grow chill, will keep you warm. 3 Peace shall walk softly through these rooms, touching our lips with holy wine, till ev'ry casual corner blooms into a shrine. 4 With laughter drown the raucous shout, and, though these sheltering walls are thin, may they be strong to keep hate out and hold love in.

I Brought My Spirit to the Sea

Author: Max Kapp, 1904-1979 Hymnal: SLT1993 #4 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I brought my spirit to the sea; I stood upon the shore. I gazed upon infinity, I heard the waters roar. 2 And then there came a sense of peace, some whisper calmed my soul. Some ancient ministry of stars had made my spirit whole. 3 I brought my spirit to the trees that loomed against the sky. I touched each wand’ring careless breeze to know if God was nigh. 4 And then I felt an inner flame that fiercely burned my tears. Upright, I rose from bended knee to meet the asking years.

It Is Something to Have Wept

Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: SLT1993 #5 (1993) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: It is something to have wept as we have wept Lyrics: 1 It is something to have wept as we have wept, and something to have done as we have done; it is something to have watched when all have slept, and seen the stars which never see the sun. 2 It is something to have smelt the mystic rose, although it break and leave the thorny rods; it is something to have hungered once as those must hunger who have ate the bread of gods: 3 To have known the things that from the weak are furled, the fearful ancient passions, strange and high; it is something to be wiser than the world, and something to be older than the sky. 4 Lo, and blessed are our ears for they have heard: yea, blessed are our eyes for they have seen: let the thunder break on human, beast, and bird, and lightning. It is something to have been.

No Longer Forward nor Behind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: SLT1993 #9 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 No longer forward nor behind I look in hope or fear; but, grateful, take the good I find, the best of now and here. I break my pilgrim staff, I lay aside the toiling oar; the angel sought so far away I welcome at my door. 2 For all the jarring notes of life seem blending in a psalm, and all the angles of its strife slow rounding into calm. And so the shadows fall apart, and so the west winds play; and all the windows of my heart I open to the day.

Immortal Love

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: SLT1993 #10 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Immortal love, forever full Lyrics: 1 Immortal love, forever full, forever flowing free, forever shared, forever whole, a never-ending sea! 2 Our outward lips confess the name all other names above; but love alone knows whence it came and comprehendeth love. 3 Blow, winds of love, awake and blow the mists of hate away: sing out, O Truth divine, and tell how wide and far we stray. 4 The letter fails, the systems fall, and every symbol wanes; the Spirit over-seeing all, Eternal Love, remains.
