which in sable darkness glow.
Brighter in compassion’s eyes
are the silent tears which flow.

where abundant spices grow.
Sweeter far is that which yields
comfort to the sick and low.
3 Grateful are those gentle dews
on the greening grass which fall.
Far more grateful what renews
comforts to the poor who call. Languages: English Tune Title: ORIENTIS PARTIBUS

How Happy Are They
Author: Henry Wotton, 1568-1639 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #135 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Love and Compassion First Line: How happy are they, born or taught Lyrics: 1 How happy are they, born or taught,
who do not serve another’s will;
whose armor is their honest thought,
and simple truth their highest skill;
2 Whose passions not their rulers are;
whose souls are still, and free from fear,
not tied unto the world with care
of public fame of private ear;
3 Who have their lives from rumors freed,
whose conscience is their strong retreat,
whose state no flattery can feed,
nor ruin make oppressors great.
4 All such are freed from servile bands
of hope to rise, or fear to fall;
they rule themselves, but rule not lands,
and, having nothing, yet have all. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM

That earth will survive and faith must not fail.

for strength to say "no" to all that is mean:
designs bearing chaos, extinction of life,
all energy wasted on weapons of death.
3 We lift up our hearts for children unborn:
give wisdom, O God, that we may hand on,
replenished and tended, this good planet earth,
preserving the future and wonder of birth. Languages: English Tune Title: UPPSALA

unarmed shall live as comrades free;
in every mind and heart shall throb
the pulse of one humanity.
3 High friendship, hitherto a sin,
or by great poets half-divined,
shall burn a steadfast star within
the calm, clear spirit of the mind.
4 New arts shall bloom of loftier mold,
and mightier music thrill the skies,
and every life a song shall be
when all the earth is paradise. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO

open our hearts to wonder,
perish the way of terror,
hallow the world God made. Languages: English Tune Title: CONCORD

Not in Vain the Distance Beacons
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #143 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men In Time To Come Lyrics: 1 Not in vain the distance beacons.
Forward, forward let us range.
Let the great world spin forever
down the ringing grooves of change;
through the shadow of the globe
we sweep ahead to heights sublime,
we, the heirs of all the ages,
in the foremost files of time.
2 Oh, we see the crescent promise
of that spirit has not set;
ancient founts of inspiration
well through all our fancies yet;
and we doubt not through the ages
one increasing purpose runs,
and the thoughts of all are widened
with the process of the suns.
3 Yea, we dip into the future,
far as human eye can see,
see the vision of the world,
and all the wonder that shall be,
hear the war-drum throb no longer,
see the battle flags all furled,
in the parliament of freedom,
federation of the world. Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY

When All the Peoples on This Earth

know deep inside their precious worth,
when every single soul is free,
we’ll earn the name Humanity.
2 The choice to be the best we can
begins the day we say, “I am.”
The unity for which we sigh
will never come through hate or lie.
3 The lights of Kwanzaa now proclaim
that when we share our inner flame
and nurture root and branch with pride,
we’ll harvest peace both far and wide. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS HYMN
