The One Life

Author: Caroline D. Howe Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Thine are the rivers: Thine, O God, the power Lyrics: 1 Thine are the rivers: Thine, O God, the power That bids them bear their waters to the sea; No cloud is mirrored there at morning hour, No wave uplifts its surging anthem free, Until the great command is heard from Thee. 2 Thine are the mountains. To the thunders nigh, Sounding their echo through the length of days, Unawed they stand, like giants towering high, In monumental state to speak Thy praise, Unshaken still, though lightnings are ablaze. 3 Thine are the forests, circling mile on mile, Where labyrinthine paths untrodden wind, Until our souls, all doubts to reconcile, Turn from these widening realms to Thee, to find The mighty purpose of Thy mightier mind. 4 Thine are all worlds, and Thine all realms of space, Whereon the stars mark out their shining course; Whate’er the sunlight clasps in its embrace, Bears the impress of love, whose tender force Kindles the soul and traces out its source. 5 Thine are the heav’ns; the wondrous arch of blue Up which the monarch sun shall proudly climb, And Thine the clouds of gold and purple hue, With planets laughing at the march of time, And shadowing forth Thy mysteries sublime. 6 Thine are our souls! Our beings blend with Thine, Upreaching toward Thee through these longings high, Stamped with Thy seal, and hearing countersign Of that One Life in us, that grows divine, By love illumed, as we to Thee draw nigh.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Who o’er the waves from shore to shore Lyrics: 1 Who o’er the waves from shore to shore The gifts of commerce bear, The wonders of the deep explore, And own that God is there. 2 By these His works are seen; His ways By these are understood; He speaks the word; the storm obeys, And rising lifts the flood. 3 Distressed, to God they make their prayer; Obedient to His will, The storms that raged their rage forbear, The seas that roared are still. 4 Each grief, each fear, at once resigned, They see their labor o’er. Then, led by Him, their haven find, And touch the wished for shore. 5 O then, that all would bless His name, Whose mercy thus they prove, And pleased from age to age proclaim, The wonders of His love!
