I Brought My Spirit to the Sea

Author: Max Kapp, 1904-1979 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #4 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Serenity Lyrics: 1 I brought my spirit to the sea; I stood upon the shore. I gazed upon infinity, I heard the waters roar. 2 And then there came a sense of peace, some whisper calmed my soul. Some ancient ministry of stars had made my spirit whole. 3 I brought my spirit to the trees that loomed against the sky. I touched each wand’ring careless breeze to know if God was nigh. 4 And then I felt an inner flame that fiercely burned my tears. Upright, I rose from bended knee to meet the asking years.

I break my pilgrim staff, I lay aside the toiling oar; the angel sought so far away I welcome at my door. 2 For all the jarring notes of life seem blending in a psalm, and all the angles of its strife slow rounding into calm. And so the shadows fall apart, and so the west winds play; and all the windows of my heart I open to the day. Languages: English Tune Title: VAN DIEMAN'S LAND
