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!

There's a Wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 925 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 20 Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice, which is more than liberty. There is no place where earthly sorrows are more felt than in God's heaven; there's no place where earthly failings have such kindly judgment given. 2 For the love of God is broader than the measures of our minds; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more faithful, we would gladly trust God's Word, and our lives would show thanksgiving for the goodness of our God. Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure thy children's warring madness, bend our pride to thy control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss thy kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places, gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christlike graces in the fight till all be free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not earth nor thee. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Used With Tune: WEBBE'S ST THOMAS
