Resignation
Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Weary of these low scenes of night Lyrics:
I. Weary of these low scenes of night,
My fainting heart grows sick of time,
Sighs for the dawn of sweet delight,
Sighs for a distant, happier clime!
II. Ah why that sigh?—peace, coward heart,
And learn to bear thy lot of woe:
Look round—how easy is thy part,
To what thy fellow-suff'rers know.
III. Are not the sorrows of the mind
Entail'd on ev'ry mortal birth?
Convinc'd, hast thou not long resign'd
The flatt'ring hope of bliss on earth?
IV. 'Tis just, 'tis right: thus He ordains,
Who form'd this animated clod;
That needful cares, instructive pains,
May bring the restless heart to God.
V. In him, my soul, behold thy rest,
Nor hope for bliss below the sky:
Come Resignation to my breast,
And silence ev'ry plaintive sigh.
VI. Come Faith, and Hope, celestial pair!
Calm Resignation waits on you;
Beyond these gloomy scenes of care,
Point out a soul-enliv'ning view.
VII. Parent of good, 'tis thine to give
These chearful graces to the mind:
Smile on my soul, and bid me live
Desiring, hoping, yet resign'd!
VIII. Thy smile,—sweet dawn of endless day!
Can make my weary spirit blest;
While on my Father's hand I stay,
And in his love securely rest.
IX. My Father, dear, delightful name!
Replete with life, and joy sincere!
O wilt thou gracious, seal my claim,
And banish ev'ry anxious fear!
X. Then, chearful shall my heart survey
The toils, and dangers of the road;
And patient keep the heav'nly way,
Which leads me homeward to my God.
Resignation
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
Unnumbered blessings, give my spirit voice;
tender to me the promise of his word;
in God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.
2 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name!
Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
his mercy sure, from age to age the same;
his holy name, the Lord, the mighty one.
3 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might!
Powers and dominions lay their glory by.
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.
4 Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word!
Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord
to children's children and for evermore! Topics: General Liturgical Section; Advent III Year A; Advent III Year C; Advent IV Year B Scripture: Psalm 103:17 Used With Tune: WOODLANDS Text Sources: Magnificat
