Beyond the Beauty and the Awe
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13 Lyrics: 1 Beyond the beauty and the awe,
beyond the fear and dread,
we long, O God, to hear your word,
to taste your transformed bread.
2 Our lives feel torn between the world,
whose needs are grimly real,
and empty talk of peace and joy
with distant, vague appeal.
3 Oh, teach us how to hear your voice
despite the traffic’s din,
to keep the blasts of rancor out
and let your Spirit in.
4 In sound or silence, sight or smell,
may we some token find
that makes your living presence known
to body, soul, and mind.
5 Then help us live as Jesus taught,
as light and salt and yeast,
that others may be brought to share
your promise and your feast.

Thee Will I Love, My God and King
Author: Robert Bridges Meter: 8.9.8.9 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:46 Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my God and King;
thee will I sing, my strength and tower;
forevermore thee will I trust,
O God most just of truth and power,
who all things hast in order placed,
yea, for thy pleasure hast created;
and on thy throne, unseen, unknown,
reignest alone in glory seated.
2 Set in my heart thy love I find;
my wand'ring mind to thee thou leadest;
my trembling hope, my strong desire
with heav'nly fire thou kindly feedest.
Lo, all things fair thy path prepare;
thy beauty to my spirit calleth,
thine to remain, in joy or pain,
and count it gain whate'er befalleth.
3 O more and more thy love extend,
my life befriend with heav'nly pleasure,
that I may win thy Paradise,
thy pearl of price, thy countless treasure.
Since but in thee I can go free
from earthly care and vain oppression,
this prayer I make for Jesus' sake,
that thou me take in thy possession. Used With Tune: GENEVA 138

Like a Tiny Seed of Mustard
Author: Patricia Hunt Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 13:31-46 Lyrics: 1 Like a tiny seed of mustard,
stored with life, invisibly,
grows and grows, each day increasing
and becomes a mighty tree;
2 like the leaven in the mixture
swells inside while hid from view,
living, rising and transforming
simple grain to bread anew;
3 like the priceless treasure,
hidden in a field which folk pass by;
one man finds it, knows its value,
sells his all that field to buy;
4 like the merchant, fine pearls seeking,
searches, yearning for the best;
finds it, clasps it, claims and buys it,
selling all that he possessed.
5 Like all these is God's great kingdom,
growing from the smallest part;
rising, swelling, coming, dwelling,
in each new believer's heart. Topics: Faith; Covenant; Faith; God--Kingdom of; Journey; Reaffirmation of faith; Reaffirmation of faith Used With Tune: HJERTETS ONSKE

To rest from the sorrowful paths they roam.
