Mysterious Presence, source of all
Author: Rev. Seth Curtis Beach Hymnal: The Hymnal #101 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 Mysterious presence, source of all—
The world without, the soul within,
Fountain of life, O hear our call,
And pour Thy living waters in!
2 Thou breathest in the rushing wind;
Thy spirit stirs in leaf and flower;
Nor wilt Thou from the willing mind
Withhold Thy light and love and power.
3 Thy hand unseen to accents clear
Awoke the psalmist’s trembling lyre,
And touched the lips of holy seer
With flame from Thine own altar fire.
4 That touch divine, still, Lord, impart;
Still give the prophet’s burning word;
And, vocal in each waiting heart,
Let living psalms of praise be heard. [Refrain]
Amen. Tune Title: ABENDS
Mysterious Presence, source of all
Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh
Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1812-1896) Hymnal: The Hymnal #107 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee.
2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows,
The solemn hush of nature newly born;
Alone with Thee in breathless adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.
3 Still, still with Thee! As to each newborn morning
A fresh and solemn splendor still is given,
So does this blessed consciousness, awaking,
Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.
4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning
When the soul waketh and life’s shadows flee;
O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning,
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: CONSOLATION
Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh
Hark, what a sound, and too divine for hearing
Author: Frederick William Henry Myers (1843-1901) Hymnal: The Hymnal #110 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 Hark, what a sound, and too divine for hearing,
Stirs on the earth and trembles in the air!
Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing?
Is it the music of His people's prayer?
2 Surely He cometh, and a thousand voices
Shout to the saints and to the deaf are dumb;
Surely He cometh, and the earth rejoices,
Glad in His coming who hath sworn, "I come."
3 So even I, and with a pang more thrilling,
So even I, and with a hope more sweet,
Yearn for the sign, O Christ, of Thy fulfilling,
Faint for the flaming of Thine advent feet.
4 Yea, through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning
He shall suffice me, for He hath sufficed;
Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning,
Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.
Amen. Tune Title: WELWYN
Hark, what a sound, and too divine for hearing
And art thou come with us to dwell
Author: Dora Greenwell Hymnal: The Hymnal #134 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 And art Thou come with us to dwell,
Our Prince, our Guide, our Love, our Lord?
And is Thy name Emmanuel,
God present with His world restored?
2 The heart is glad for Thee! it knows
None now shall bid it err or mourn;
And o’er its desert breaks the rose
In triumph o’er the grieving thorn.
3 Thou bringest all again; with Thee
Is light, is space, is breadth and room
For each thing fair, beloved, and free
To have its hour of life and bloom.
4 The world is glad for Thee! the heart
Is glad for Thee! and all is well,
And fixed and sure, because Thou art,
Whose name is called Emmanuel!
Amen. Tune Title: EIN KIND GEBOREN
And art thou come with us to dwell

In whom my heart is pleased.

His member I shall be.
He bowed his head when on the cross he died
With cries of agony.
Now death is brought into subjection
For me too by his resurrection.
I am content! I am content!
3 I am content! My Jesus is my light,
My radiant sun of grace.
His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all,
Sweet comfort, hope, and peace.
This Easter sun has brought salvation
And everlasting exultation.
I am content! I am content!
4 I am content! At length I shall be free,
Awakened from the dead,
Arising glorious evermore to be
With you, my living head.
My Lord, earth's binding fetters sever,
Then shall my soul rejoice forever.
I am content! I am content! Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GENUG

Could solve death's mystery;
I only know a living Christ,
Our immortality.

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #279 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Inner Life Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
And drives away all fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the heart's unrest;
It's manna to the hungry soul
And to the weary, rest.
3 Dear name! The rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding place;
My never-failing treasury filled
With boundless stores of grace.
4 By you my prayers acceptance gain
Although with sin defiled.
The devil charges me in vain,
And God calls me his child.
5 O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my life, my way, my end,
Accept the praise I bring.
6 I praise in weakness from afar--
How cold my warmest thought!
But when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
7 Till then I would your love proclaim
With ev'ry fleeting breath;
And may the music of your name
Refresh my soul in death! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER

No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
Unite my thankful heart to you,
And reign without a rival there.
Yours wholly, yours alone I am;
Be you alone my sacred flame.

May dwell but your pure love alone;
Oh, may your love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown!
All coldness from my heart remove;
My ev'ry act, word, thought be love.
3 This love unwearied I pursue
And dauntlessly to you aspire.
Oh, may your love my hope renew,
Glow in my soul like heav'nly fire!
And day and night be all my care
To guard this sacred treasure there.
4 In suff'ring be your love my peace,
In weakness be your love my pow'r;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
O Jesus, in that final hour
Be then my rod and staff and guide
And draw me safely to your side. Languages: English Tune Title: VATER UNSER
