O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love! 4 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heats of our desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm. * Dear God, embracing humankind Used With Tune: REST

To Us All, to Every Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell; W. Garrett Horder Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: God's Church Life of Discipleship: Conflict and Perseverance Lyrics: 1 To us all, to every nation comes the moment to decide, in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side; some great cause, God's new endeavor, offering each the bloom or blight, and the choice goes by forever; 'twixt that darkness and that light. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, toiling up new Calvaries ever with the cross that turns not back; new occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth; they must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, yet 'tis truth alone is strong, truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, God is standing in the shadow keeping watch beside God's own. Used With Tune: EBENEZER
