Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #284 (1996) Meter: 10.10.11.10 Topics: Beauty First Line: Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden God Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden God,
rolling cloud of night beyond all naming:
Majesty in darkness, Energy of love,
Word-in-flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark, Spirit of the deep,
winging wildly o'er the world's creation,
silken sheen of midnight, plumage black and bright,
swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark, shadowed stable floor;
angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
as with exultation, Mary, giving birth,
hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark coolness of the tomb,
waiting for the wonder of the morning;
never was that midnight touched by dread and gloom:
darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark, depth of love divine,
roaring, looming thundercloud of glory;
holy, haunting beauty, living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story!
Joyful is the dark,
joyful is the dark,
joyful is the dark. Languages: English Tune Title: CEDARS
Joyful Is the Dark
I Sought the Wood in Summer
Author: Willa Cather, 1893-1947 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #328 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Humanist Teachings Beauty, Truth, and Goodness Lyrics: 1 I sought the wood in summer
when every twig was green;
the rudest boughs were tender,
and buds were pink between.
Light-fingered aspens trembled
in fitful sun and shade,
and daffodils were golden
in every starry glade.
2 “How frail a thing is Beauty,”
I said, “when every breath
she gives the vagrant summer
but swifter woos her death.
For this the star dust troubles,
for this have ages rolled:
to deck the wood for bridal
and slay her with the cold.”
3 I sought the wood in winter
when every leaf was dead;
behind the wind-whipped branches
the winter sun was red.
The birches, white and slender,
in breathless marble stood,
the brook, a white immortal,
slept silent in the wood.
4 “How sure a thing is Beauty,”
I cried. “No bolt can slay,
nor wave nor shock despoil her,
nor ravishers dismay.
The granite hills are slighter,
the sea more like to fail,
behind the rose the planet,
the Law behind the veil.” Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #485 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Topics: Beauty Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind;
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!
4 With that deep hush subduing all
our words and works that drown
the tender whisper of thy call,
as noiseless let thy blessing fall
as fell thy manna down,
as fell thy manna down.
5 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.
6 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm!
O still small voice of calm!
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11-13 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

Lord, I Was Blind
Author: William T. Matson Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #499 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ Beauty; Jesus Christ Beauty First Line: Lord, I was blind; I could not see Lyrics: 1 Lord, I was blind; I could not see
in your marred visage any grace:
but now the beauty of your face
in radiant vision dawns on me.

ghe thrilling music of your voice:
but now I hear you and rejoice,
and all your uttered words are dear.
3 Lord, I was mute; I could not speak
the grace and glory of your name:
but now, as touched with living flame,
my lips will speak for Jesus' sake.
4 Lord, I was dead; I could not move
my lifeless soul from sin's dark grave:
but now the power of life you gave
has raised me up to know your love.

Creator God, the world around
Author: Brian Hoare (b. 1935) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #536 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Beauty Lyrics: 1 Creator God, the world around
declares your glory — flower and tree,
the evening sky and torrent's sound
and mountain stream and rolling sea.
Yet all this beauty cannot show
a God whom we can truly know.
2 Composer God, all music sings
your power, your praise, your majesty:
in drum and trumpet, flute and strings,
in choir and song and symphony.
Yet music which inspires our praise
can never fathom all your ways.
3 Designer God, in shape and form
the beauty you inspire is shown;
in line and colour, etched or drawn,
in sculpture, painting, glass and stone.
Yet all these talents can't express
the full truth of your loveliness.
4 Mysterious God, though all the arts
of nature and of human skill
may move us, yet our longing hearts
are never satisfied until
in Jesus Christ you show your face:
a God of love and truth and grace. Scripture: John 1:18 Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA
Creator God, the world around
