Let dust in dust and silence lie;

thy throne, O God most high;
ten thousand times ten thousand sound
thy praise; but who am I?

Lord, send a beam on me;
for where heaven is but once begun,
there hallelujahs be.

inflame it with love's fire;
then shall I sing and bear a part

Lord, treasure up my mite.

Deep in the shadows of the past
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #510 (1997) Scripture: Exodus 3:1-15 Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past,
far out from settled lands,
some nomads traveled with their God
across the desert sands.
The dawning hope of humankind
by them was sensed and shown:
a promise calling them ahead,
a future yet unknown.
2 While others bowed to changeless gods,
they met a mystery,
invisible, without a name:
"I AM WHAT I WILL BE";
and by their tents, around their fires
in story, song and law,
they praised, remembered, handed on
a past that promised more.
3 From Exodus to Pentecost
the promise changed and grew,
while some, remembering the past,
recorded what they knew,
or with their letters and laments,
their prophecy and praise,
recovered, kindled, and expressed
new hope for changing days.
4 For all the writings that survived,
for leaders long ago,
who sifted, copied and preserved
the Bible that we know,
give thanks, and find its story yet
our promise, strength and call,
the model of emerging faith,
alive with hope for all. Topics: Desert / Wilderness; God Name of; Hope; Law; Mystery; Promise; Prophets; The Bible Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you

within the bush alive with flame;
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.
4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in ardent youth or mellow age.
5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us

exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.

and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit in the Church - Enlivening and Renewing the Church; God Presence of Languages: English Tune Title: SUNSET
