From the night of ancient wrongs Wake our eyes to see Dawning in the skies the day God shall bring to be. 2 Lo, from out the heavy dark Strained and haggard eyes Turn toward that breaking dawn With their dumb surmise Women from their tragic shame, Weary men who bow To the burden of the world Cry Thy coming now! 3 Shame of all our lust and greed, Shame of lives that lie Couched in ease while down their streets Pain and want go by In the twilight of our sins, These we suffer long, While our strength lies dull before Earth's unrighted wrong. 4 Splendour of the thoughts of God Through the shadows rise, Burn the films of self and sin From our blinded eyes! Penitents, we come to learn What we ought to do; Give the vision then, O God, Strength to make it true! Languages: English Tune Title: DEDICATIO ANNI

Say not, The struggle nought availeth

Author: Arthur Hugh Clough, 1819-1861 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #402 (1917) Topics: Righteousness Social; Social Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Say not, The struggle nought availeth, The labour and the wounds are vain, The enemy faints not nor faileth, And as things have been they remain. 2 If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars; It may be, in yon smoke concealed, Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers, And but for you possess the field. 3 For while the tired waves, vainly breaking, Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back, through creeks and inlets making, Comes silent, flooding in, the main. 4 And not by eastern windows only, When daylight comes, comes in the light; In front the sun climbs slow how slowly! But westward, look! the land is bright. Languages: English Tune Title: BOLTON
