Again, as Evening's Shadow Falls
Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #48 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Evening Lyrics: 1 Again, as evening's shadow falls,
we gather in these hallowed walls;
and vesper hymn and vesper prayer
rise mingling on the holy air.
2 May struggling hearts that seek release
here find the rest of God's own peace:
and, strengthened here by hymn and prayer,
lay down the burden and the care.
3 Life's tumult we must meet again;
we cannot at the shrine remain;
but in the spirit's secret cell
may hymn and prayer forever dwell.

All the world is bent on keeping
tryst with night, whose wings are sweeping

over all is seen to hover
in its readiness to cover
all the drowsy world, good night.
3 Those who labored long, untiring,
hail this time of rest desiring,
strength renewed through sweet retiring, welcome thoughts of peaceful night.
4 And through spaces real or seeming
find the Eden of their dreaming,
soar to starry ways, redeeming
hours of toil and pain, good night. Languages: English Tune Title: QUEM PASTORES

In Sweet Fields of Autumn
Author: Elizabeth Madison, b. 1883 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #52 (1993) Meter: 12.12.12.12 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Autumn First Line: In sweet fields of autumn the gold grain is falling Lyrics: 1 In sweet fields of autumn the gold grain is falling,
the white clouds drift lonely, the wild swan is calling.
Alas for the daisies, the tall fern and grasses,
when wind-sweep and rainfall fill lowlands and passes.
2 The snows of December shall fill windy hollow;
the bleak rain trails after, the March wind shall follow.
The deer through the valleys leave print of their going;
and diamonds of sleet mark the ridges of snowing.
3 The stillness of death shall stoop over the water,
the plover sweep low where the pale streamlets falter;
but deep in the earth clod the black seed is living;
when spring sounds her bugles for rousing and giving. Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG

I Walk the Unfrequented Road
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #53 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Autumn Lyrics: 1 I walk the unfrequented road
with open eye and ear;
I watch afield the farmer load
the bounty of the year.
2 I filch the fruit of no one’s toil —
no trespasser am I —
and yet I reap from every soil
and from the boundless sky.
3 I gather where I did not sow,
and bend the mystic sheaf,
the amber air, the river’s flow,
the rustle of the leaf.
4 A beauty springtime never knew
haunts all the quiet ways,
and sweeter shines the landscape through
its veil of autumn haze.
5 I face the hills, the streams, the wood,
and feel with all akin;
my heart expands; their fortitude
and peace and joy flow in. Languages: English Tune Title: CONSOLATION

the flying cloud, the frosty light:
the year is dying in the night;
ring out, wild bells, and let it die.
2 Ring out the old, ring in the new,
ring, happy bells, across the snow:
the year is going, let it go;
ring out the false, ring in the true.
3 Ring out the grief that saps the mind
for those that here we see no more;
ring out the feud of rich and poor;
ring in redress to humankind.
4 Ring out false pride in place and blood,
the civic slander and the spite;
ring in the love of truth and right;
ring in the common love of good.
