The Golden Key

Author: Unknown Meter: 10.7.10.7 Appears in 56 hymnals First Line: Prayer is the key on the bending knee Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the key on the bending knee To open the morn’s first hours; See the incense rise to the starry skies, Like perfume from the flow’rs. 2 Not a soul so sad, nor a heart so glad, When cometh the shades of night, But the daybreak song will the joy prolong, And darkness turn to light. 3 Take the golden key in your hand and see, As the night tide drifts away, How its blessed hold is a crown of gold, Through the weary hours of day. 4 When the shadows fall, and the vesper call Is sobbing its low refrain, ’Tis a garland sweet to the toil-worn feet, And a healing touch for pain. 5 Soon the year’s dark door shall be shut no more; Life’s tears shall be wiped away As the pearl gates swing and the gold harps ring, Ush’ring in eternal day. Scripture: Psalm 55:17 Used With Tune: [Prayer is the key on the bending knee] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/The_Golden_Key); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (169)

The Ships Glide in at the Harbor's Mouth

Author: Margaret E. Sangster Meter: 10.7.10.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The ships glide in at the harbor’s mouth, And the ships sail out to sea, And the wind that sweeps from the sunny south Is sweet as sweet can be. There’s a world of toil and a world of pain, And a world of trouble and care, But O in a world where our Father reigns, There is gladness everywhere. 2 The harvest waves in the breezy morn, And the men go forth to reap; The fullness comes to the tasseled corn, Whether we wake or sleep. And far on the hills by feet untrod There are blossoms that scent the air, But O in this world of our Father, God, There is beauty everywhere. Topics: God In the World Used With Tune: DEO GRATIAS
