Like a mighty river flowing

Author: Michael Perry (1942-1996) Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Beauty Lyrics: 1 Like a mighty river flowing, like a flower in beauty growing, far beyond all human knowing is the perfect peace of God. 2 Like the hills serene and even, like the coursing clouds of heaven, like the heart that's been forgiven is the perfect peace of God. 3 Like the summer breezes playing, like the tall trees softly swaying, like the lips of silent praying is the perfect peace of God. 4 Like the morning sun ascended, like the scents of evening blended, like a friendship never ended is the perfect peace of God. 5 Like the azure ocean swelling, like the jewel all-excelling, far beyond our human telling is the perfect peace of God.

Life Has Loveliness to Sell

Author: Sara Teasdale Meter: Irregular Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Beauty in Life Lyrics: 1 Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings, And children's faces looking up, Holding wonder like a cup. 2 Life has loveliness to sell, Music like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for your spirit's still delight, Holy thoughts that star the night. 3 Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost; For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strive well lost, And for a breath of ecstasy Give all you have been or could be.
