The Morning, Noiseless

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #43 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Morning First Line: The morning, noiseless, flings its gold Lyrics: 1 The morning, noiseless, flings its gold, and still is evening’s pace; and silently the earth is rolled amid the vast of space. 2 Night moves in silence round the pole, the stars sing on unheard; their music pierces to the soul, yet borrows not a word. 3 In quietude the spirit grows, and deepens hour to hour; in calm eternal onward flows its all-redeeming power. 4 Attend, O soul; and hear at length the spirit’s silent voice; in stillness labor; wait in strength; and, confident, rejoice.

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Hymnal: Voices United #46 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Wonder Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her child lowly in a manger; there he lay, the undefiled, to the world a stranger. Such a Babe in such a place, can he be the Saviour? Ask the saved of all the race who have found his favour. 2 Angels sang about his birth, wise Men sought and found him; heaven’s star shone brightly forth, glory all around him. Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing; all the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ringing. 3 Gentle Mary laid her child lowly in a manger; he is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger. Son of God of humble birth, beautiful the story; praise his name in all the earth; hail the King of glory! Languages: English Tune Title: GENTLE MARY
