Here on the Paths of Every Day

Author: Edwin Markham, 1852-1940 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here on the paths of every day — here on the common human way — is all the stuff the gods would take to build a heaven, to mold and make New Edens. Ours the task sublime to build eternity in time. 2 We need no other stones to build the temple of the unfulfilled — no other ivory for the doors — no other marble for the floors — no other cedar for the beam and dome of our immortal dream.

Before You, God, the Judge of All

Author: Magnus B. Landstad, 1802-1880; Carl Döving, 1867-1937 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before you, God, the judge of all, with grief and shame I humbly fall. I see my sins against you, Lord, my sins of thought and deed and word. They press me sore; to you I flee: O God, be merciful to me! 2 O Lord, my God, to you I pray: O cast me not in wrath away! Let your good Spirit ne'er depart, but let him draw to you my heart that truly penitent I be: O God, be merciful to me! 3 O Jesus, let your precious blood be to my soul a cleansing flood. Turn not, O Lord, your guest away, but grant that justified I may go to my house at peace to be: O God, be merciful to me!
