Bring, O Morn, Thy Music
Author: William Channing Gannett, 1840-1923 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #39 (1993) Meter: 12.13.12.10 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Morning First Line: Bring, O morn, thy music! Night, thy starlit silence! Lyrics: 1 Bring, O morn, thy music! Night, thy starlit silence!
Oceans, laugh in rapture to the storm-winds coursing free!
Sun and planets chorus, praise to Thee, Most Holy –
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.
2 Life and death, thy creatures, praise thee, mighty Giver!
Praise and prayer are rising in thy beast and bird and tree;
Lo! they praise and vanish, vanish at thy bidding –
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.
3 Life nor death can part us, O thou Love eternal,
Shepherd of the wandering star and souls that wayward flee!
Homeward draws the spirit to thy Spirit yearning –
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be. Languages: English Tune Title: NICAEA

The Morning Hangs a Signal
Author: William Channing Gannett, 1840-1923 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #40 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Morning Lyrics: 1 The morning hangs a signal
upon the mountain crest,
while all the sleeping valleys
in silent darkness rest.
From peak to peak it flashes,
it laughs along the sky,
till glory of the sunlight
on all the land shall lie.
2 Above the generations
the lonely prophets rise,
while truth flares as the daystar
within their glowing eyes;
and other eyes, beholding,
are kindled from that flame;
and dawn becomes the morning,
when prophets love proclaim.
3 The soul has lifted moments,
above the drift of days,
when life’s great meaning breaketh
in sunrise on our ways.
Behold the radiant token
of faith above all fear;
night shall release its splendor
that morning shall appear. Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

in sleep and quiet rest,
and joy to see the cheerful light

your morning tribute bring;
all nature join in grateful praise –
rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
rejoice, give thanks, and sing.

night, veiled in mystery —
glorious the earth and resplendent skies!
Pilgrims, we march along,
singing our joyous song,
as through an earthly paradise.
2 Tall are the verdant trees;
deep are the flashing seas;
glorious each wonder the seasons bring.
Brighter is faith’s surmise,
shining in pilgrim eyes,
from which our waking spirits spring.
3 Age after age we rise,
‘neath the eternal skies,
into the light from the shadowed past:
still shall our pilgrim song,
buoyant and brave and strong,
resound while life and mountains last. Languages: English Tune Title: SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU

The Morning, Noiseless

and still is evening’s pace;
and silently the earth is rolled
amid the vast of space.
2 Night moves in silence round the pole,
the stars sing on unheard;
their music pierces to the soul,
yet borrows not a word.
3 In quietude the spirit grows,
and deepens hour to hour;
in calm eternal onward flows
its all-redeeming power.
4 Attend, O soul; and hear at length
the spirit’s silent voice;
in stillness labor; wait in strength;
and, confident, rejoice. Languages: English Tune Title: NATURE'S ADVENT

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #45 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Evening Lyrics: 1 Now while the day in trailing splendor
gives way to glories of the night,
thanksgiving to thy name we render,
O God of darkness and of light.
Each day from thee we have our being,
in all this wondrous order set;
thine omnipresence blinds our seeing,
and in thy gifts we thee forget.
2 Touch thou our eyes, their blindness healing,
till all this common earth and air
to our illumined sight and feeling
thy glory and thyself declare;
till storied marvel, sign, and token,
all pale before the nearer thought
of such vast miracles unbroken
from hour to hour around us brought. Languages: English Tune Title: LEE

night is drawing nigh,
shadows of the evening
steal across the sky.
2 Now the leafless landscape
settles in repose,
waiting for the quiet
of the winter snows.
3 Now as twilight gathers
let us pause and hear
all the slowing pulse-beats
of the waning year.
4 May the season's rhythms,
slow and strong and deep,
soothe the mind and spirit,
lulling us to sleep.
5 Sleep until the rising
of another spring
keeps the ancient promise
fall and winter bring. Languages: English Tune Title: WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN

Again, as Evening's Shadow Falls
Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #48 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Evening Lyrics: 1 Again, as evening's shadow falls,
we gather in these hallowed walls;
and vesper hymn and vesper prayer
rise mingling on the holy air.
2 May struggling hearts that seek release
here find the rest of God's own peace:
and, strengthened here by hymn and prayer,
lay down the burden and the care.
3 Life's tumult we must meet again;
we cannot at the shrine remain;
but in the spirit's secret cell
may hymn and prayer forever dwell.
