This book of books I'd rather own

Deep in the Shadows of the Past

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #320 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Hymns About the Bible Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past, far out from settled lands, some nomads traveled with their God across the desert sands. The dawning hope of humankind by them was sensed and shown: a promise calling them ahead, a future yet unknown. 2 While others bowed to changeless gods, they met a mystery: a hidden, uncompleted Name - "I AM WHAT I WILL BE"; And by their tents, around their fires, in story, song, and law, they praised, remembered, handed on a past that promised more. 3 From Abraham to Nazareth the promise changed and grew, while some, remembering the past, recorded what they knew, and some, in letters and laments, in prophecy and praise, recovered, kindled, and expressed new hope for changing days. 4 For all the writings that survived, for leaders, long ago, who sifted, copied, and preserved the Bible that we know, Give thanks and find its story yet our promise, strength, and call: the working model of our faith, alive with hope for all.
