A Song of Pilgrimage (Priusquam errarem): Canticle B (metrical paraphrase)

Author: Patricia B. Clark (b. 1938) Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Even when young, I prayed for wisdom's grace Lyrics: 1 Even when young, I prayed for wisdom’s grace; In temple courts I sought her day and night, And I will seek her to the very end; she is my heart’s delight. 2 My foot has firmly walked the path of truth; With diligence, I followed her design. My ear was open to receive her words; Now wisdom’s skill is mine. 3 Glory to one who gives me wisdom’s prize; I vowed to live according to her way. She gave me courage from the very start; She will not let me stray. 4 Something within my being has been stirred; My seeking brought a gift beyond compare: The gift of language loosed my halting tongue; God’s praise is now my prayer.

Isaiah the prophet has written of old

Author: Joy F. Patterson (b. 1931) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old how God's earthly kingdom shall come. Instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow; the wolf shall lie down with the lamb. The mountains and hills shall break forth into song, The peoples be led forth in peace. For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the seas. 2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world. And conflict turns parent from child. Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth; the brier and the thorn grow wild. Lord, hasten to bring in your kingdom on earth, when no one shall hurt or destroy. When wisdom and justice shall reign in the land and your people shall go forth in joy. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Advent and Christmas Scripture: Isaiah 11:5-9 Used With Tune: SAMANTHRA

Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth and never cease, to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace.
