Dark Is the Hour
The rosy-fingered dawn appears
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
The rosy-fingered dawn appears,
And lo, the sun uprise;
His shafts like golden pointed spears
Illume the brightening skies;--
Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine,
And praise the Lord of Light divine.
Thou hast a task to do this day,
Thy God to serve in all;
Like morn and noon thy light display,
Ere night in darkness fall.--
Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine,
And praise the Lord of Light divine.
The rosy morn shall fade away,
The sun his course complete;
Thy task must end with close of day,
When light and darkness greet.--
Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine,
And praise the Lord of Light divine.
2
Eternal light eternal glows,
Beyond the realms of time;
Where service still to service grows,
As suns to noontide climb.--
Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine,
And praise the Lord of Light divine.
The rosy-fingered dawn appears
Do Thou Direct Thy Chariot, Lord
Author: Ulrich Zwingli; Unknown Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Do Thou direct Thy chariot, Lord,
And guide us at Thy will;
Without Thy aid our strength is vain,
And useless all our skill.
Look down upon Thy saints below
When prostrate laid beneath the foe.
2 Belovèd Shepherd, who hast saved
Our souls from death and sin,
Uplift Thy voice, awake Thy sheep,
That slumbering lie within
Thy fold; and curb, with Thy right hand,
The rage of Satan’s furious band.
3 Send down Thy peace and banish strife,
Let bitterness depart;
Revive the spirit of Thy grace
In each true Christian’s heart;
Then shall Thy Church forever sing
The praises of her heavenly king. Used With Tune: JÖNKÖPING
Do Thou Direct Thy Chariot, Lord
Angels Unawares
Author: Clara H. Thwaites Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: They come to us in simple guise Lyrics: 1 They come to us in simple guise,
In common garb. In sooth
They are not lovely in our eyes,
Though fair in love and truth.
We greet them coldly; after years
We call them "Angels Unawares."
2 There is no halo round their brow,
As pictured saint may bear;
Nay, rather, sorrow marks them now
With stain of grief or tear.
And smiling satire scarcely spares
These mournful "Angels Unawares."
3 They have no eloquence of speech
For us, with fluent flow;
And yet their lovely lives might reach
The heights which angels know.
We scarcely note the beauty theirs,
Till lost—these "Angels Unawares."
4 Or some we scorn! How strange it is
That looks should vex us thus!
That we should spurn, because we miss
Some manner dear to us!
When Memory sings her tender airs
She calls them "Angels Unawares."
5 We deem ’twere easier far of old
Some sandaled saint to greet,
On tented plain, when skies were gold,
And orient airs were sweet.
Saints meet us now ’mid thronging cares
Pass on—are "Angels Unawares."
6 Sweet songs they sing, brave words they say,
Unheeded though they be,
Until, the singer caught away,
We learn their mystery:
Then, singing up the golden stairs,
They beckon—"Angels Unawares."
7 O would we pause, with Christ-like grace,
To aid our fellow-men,
Be not too busy in life’s race
To love as brethren:
Across life’s waste would blow soft airs,
While angels walk, not "Unawares."

We Have a Dream
My heart was sad because of sin
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
My heart was sad because of sin,
And lo, the night came down,
And dark without, and dark within
I shrank before Thy frown;
Now pity, Lord, my woeful state,
And save me in Thy mercy great.
I lift mine eyes to where the Christ
My awful burden bore,
And see the offering that sufficed,--
His stripes and anguish sore;
The riven side, the thorny crown,
The wounds from which His blood flowed down.
O Love no loving heart e'er gave!
Like light from heaven it flows;
And now for Him Who died to save,
My love responsive glows;
And joy resounds my heart within,
That once was sad because of sin.
My heart was sad because of sin
The wind that brake the rocks, and rent
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
The wind that brake the rocks, and rent
The mountains in its path;
The earthquake and the fire that went
Before the Lord in wrath,
Came not as spoilers to the prey,
But heralds to prepare His way.
201
Himself the still small voice made known,
In all His power and grace;
So be to me his mercy shown,
Terror to love give place:
Than will I hide my face, and stay
To hear what God the Lord will say.
Topics: Still small voice, the Scripture: 2 Kings 19:11-12
