Years Are Coming

Author: Adin Ballou, 1803-1890 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #166 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: These Things Shall Be First Line: Years are coming, speed them onward Lyrics: 1 Years are coming, speed them onward when the sword shall gather rust, and the helmet, lance, and falchion sleep at last in silent dust.

No Number Tallies Nature Up

Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #79 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: These Things Shall Be Lyrics: 1 No number tallies nature up, no tribe its house can fill; it is the shining fount of life and pours the deluge still. And gathers by its fragile powers along the centuries from race on race the rarest flowers, its wreath shall nothing miss. 2 It writes the past in characters of rock and fire and scroll, the building in the coral sea, the planting of the coal. And thefts from satellites and rings and broken stars it drew, and out of spent and aged things it formed the world anew. 3 Must time and tide forever run, nor winds sleep in the west? Will never wheels which whirl the sun and satellites have rest? Yet whirl the glowing wheels once more, and mix the bowl again; seethe, Fate, the ancient elements, heat, cold, and peace, and pain. 4 Blend war and trade and creeds and song, let ripen race on race, the sunburnt world that we shall breed of all the countless days. No ray is dimmed, no atom worn, the oldest force is new, and fresh the rose on yonder thorn gives back the heavens in dew. Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION

O Come, You Longing Thirsty Souls

Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #209 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: These Things Shall Be Lyrics: 1 O come, you longing thirsty souls, drink freely from the spring. And come, you weary, famished folk, and end your hungering. Why spend yourself on empty air? Why not be satisfied? For everywhere a feast is spread that’s always at our side. 2 For as the rain and snow above fall not in vanity, but for this purpose water earth: to feed humanity. So shall the word of spirit serve as seed within our loam, that we may bear so rich a yield as brings the harvest home. 3 For we shall go in peace secure and leave in joy sublime! The hills outside will burst with song, the trees will clap in time! No more shall thorns and nettles grow! The bay tree and the pine shall sign for us th’eternal Name that makes the world a shrine.

Forward Through the Ages

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #114 (1993) Topics: These Things Shall Be Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages, in unbroken line, move the faithful spirits at the call divine: gifts in differing measure, hearts of one accord, manifold the service, one the sure reward.

Prophets have proclaimed it, martyrs testified, poets sung its glory, heroes for it died.

Bound by God’s far purpose in one living whole, move we on together to the shining goal. Forward through the ages, in unbroken line, move the faithful spirits at the call divine.

All our joys and all our groans help to rear its shining ramparts; all our lives are building stones. Whether humble or exalted, all are called to task divine; all must aid alike to carry forward one sublime design. 3 And the work that we have builded, oft with bleeding hands and tears, oft in error, and in anguish, will not perish with our years: it will live and shine transfigured in the final reign of right: it will merge into the splendors of the city of the light.
