Compassed about with songs, my soul was still

Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Compassed about with songs, my soul was still — But not for lack of light its bliss to see; Thy heart, my Father, could the temple fill, And its deep silence was a song to Thee. My mind reposed in its captivity, By the clear evidence of love subdued; I was content to die, that I might be Redeemed forever from my solitude. All that was in me to Thy throne aspired Longed for Thy heavenly glory to be meet, — Devotion was the joy to be desired, And the the thought of sacrifice was sweet. But He who knew my frame was training me For service needing strength that cannot wane, And teaching me my frail mortality By solemn reckonings of the weight of pain. I in my weakness — how was I to reign, When suffering was the only way to power? And would my spirit in His strength remain, When watching was a strife for one short hour? Conid I with steadfast heart myself deny? Could I with patient love the Cross endure? Should I be every day content to die, To keep my daily life in Him secure? Then with fresh sweetness, from the saints in light, One song of victory to my soul made known, How the hid treasure of the Church's might Was in the power of her Beloved alone. And then Thy glory to my heart was shown, Even as the glory of the blest above; — I knew Thy steadfast spirit was my own, By the pure joy of Thy reflected love. And the mind communed with me that was his Who said “When I am weak then am I strong” — Until the voice of my infirmities Made harmony with that triumphant song. Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:11-12

Sleepers awake! the night's long reign is past

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Sleepers awake! the night's long reign is past; Purple and gold adorn the hills at last; Songs of delight from myriad hearts arise, Borne on the wind that bears them to the skies. Sleepers awake! The Christ from death awakes; Light from the tomb in radiant beauty breaks; Song from the heavens to listening earth descends, Gladness of earth with heavenly gladness blends. Sleepers awake! to hope immortal spring, Mount to the heights with never-tiring wing; Clouds are of earth where linger doubt and fear, There, in the light, no threatening clouds appear. Sleepers awake! No time for slumber now, Day shines from heaven with glory on its brow. Darkness and night, and clouds are passed away, Christ is the Light of our eternal day. Sleepers awake! the night's long reign is past; Purple and gold adorn the hills at last; Christ hath arisen. Awake! creation wakes, Light everlasting on our darkness breaks.
