O'er the dark wave of Galilee

O'er the dark wave of Galilee
My barns are full, my stores increase
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #219 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Rich worldling Lyrics: 1 "My barns are full, my stores increase;
And now for many years,
Soul, eat and drink, and take thine ease,
Secure from wants and fears."
2 Thus while a worldling boasted once,
As many now presume,
He heard the Lord himself pronounce,
His sudden, awful doom:
3 "This night, vain fool, thy soul must pass
Into a world unknown;
And who shall then the stores possess,
Which thou hast call'd thine own?"
4 Thus blinded mortals fondly scheme,
For happiness below;
Till death destroys the pleasing dream,
And they awake to wo.
Scripture: Luke 12:16
My barns are full, my stores increase
O Young and Fearless Prophet
Author: S. Ralph Harlow, 1885-1972 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #276 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Rich and poor Lyrics: 1 O young and fearless Prophet
of ancient Galilee:
your life is still a summons
to serve humanity,
to make our thoughts and actions
less prone to please the crowd,
to stand with humble courage
for truth with hearts unbowed.
2 O help us stand unswerving
against war's bloody way,
where hate and lust and falsehood
hold back your holy sway;
forbid false love of country,
that turns us from your call
who lifts above the nation
the neighborhood of all.
3 Create in us the splendor
that dawns when hearts are kind,
that knows not race nor station
as bound'ries of the mind;
that learns to value beauty,
in heart, or mind, or soul,
and longs to see God's children
as sacred, perfect, whole.
4 Stir up in us a protest
against unneeded wealth;
for some go starved and hungry
who plead for work and health.
Once more give us your challenge
above our noisy day,
and come to lead us forward
along your holy way.
