Seek Not Afar for Beauty

Author: Minot Judson Savage, 1841-1918 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: Seek not afar for beauty; lo, it glows Lyrics: 1 Seek not afar for beauty; lo, it glows in dew-wet grasses all bout your feet, in birds, in sunshine, childish faces sweet, in stars and mountain summits topped with snows. 2 Go not abroad for happiness; behold it is a flower blooming at your door. Bring love and justice home, and evermore joy shall be yours as changing years unfold. 3 In wonder-workings or some bush aflame, we look for Truth and fancy it concealed; but in earth's common things it stands revealed, while grass and flowers and stars spell out the name.

Oh, Give Us Pleasure in the Flowers Today

Author: Robert Frost, 1875-1963 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today, and give us not to think so far away as the uncertain harvest; keep us here all simply in the springing of the year. 2 Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night; and make us happy in the happy bees, the swarm dilating round the perfect trees. 3 And make us happy in the darting bird that suddenly above the bees is heard, the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill, and off a blossom in mid air stands still. 4 For this is love and nothing else is love, the which it is reserved for God above to sanctify to what far ends he will, but which it only needs that we fulfill.

From All the Fret and Fever of the Day

Author: Monroe Beardsley, b. 1915 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From all the fret and fever of the day, let there be moments when we turn away, and, deaf to all confusing outer din, intently listen for the voice within. 2 In quietness and solitude we find the soundless wisdom of the deeper mind; with clear harmonious purpose let us then bring richer meaning to the world again.
