Now I Recall My Childhood
Author: Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Now I recall my childhood when the sun Lyrics: 1 Now I recall my childhood when the sun
burst to my bedside with the day’s surprise;
faith in the marvelous bloomed anew each dawn,
flowers bursting fresh within my heart each day.
2 Then looking on the world with simple joy,
on insects, birds, and beasts, and common weeds,
the grass and clouds had fullest wealth of awe;
my mother’s voice gave meaning to the stars.
3 Now when I turn to think of coming death,
I find life’s song in star-songs of the night,
in rise of curtains and new morning light,
in life reborn in fresh surprise of love. Topics: Wisdom from the World's Religions Our Common Ground; Change; Children; Elders; Parents; Seasons and Cycles Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA Text Sources: Recast, based on poem LXXI in Tagores Crossing

The Peace Not Past Our Understanding
Author: John Holmes, 1904-1962 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The peace not past our understanding
falls like light upon the soft white tablecloth
at winter supper warm between four walls,
a thing too simple to be tried as truth.
2 Not scholar’s calm, nor gift of church or state,
nor everlasting date of death’s release;
but careless noon, the houses lighted late,
harvest and holiday: the people’s peace.
3 Days into years, the doorways worn at sill,
years into lives, the plans for long increase
come true at last for those of God’s good will:
these are the things we mean by saying, Peace. Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Peace; Serenity Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA

Of Women, and of Women's Hopes We Sing
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Of women, and of women's hopes we sing:
of sharing in creation's nurturing,
of bearing and of birthing new belief,
of passion for the promises of life.
2 We praise God whose image is our own,
the mystery within our flesh and bone,
the woman-spirit moving through all time
in prophecy, Magnificat and dream.
3 We labor for the commonwealth of God,
and equal as disciples, walk the road,
in work and status, asking what is just,
for sisters of the family of Christ.
4 Forgiving what is past, we seek the new:
a finer justice, and a peace more true,
the promise of empowering for our day
when men and women roll the stone away. Topics: God's World Dignity and Equality; Dignity and Equality; Empowerment; Hope; Women Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA
