I Know Not If or Dark or Bright

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 8.4.8.4 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I know not if or dark or bright Shall be my lot; If that wherein my hopes delight Be best or not. 2. It may be mine to drag for years Toil’s heavy chain, Or day and night my meat be tears On bed of pain. 3. Dear faces may surround my health With smiles and glee, Or I may dwell alone, and mirth Be strange to me. 4. My bark is wafted to the strand By breath divine, And on its helm there rests a hand Other than mine. 5. One who was known in storms to sail I have on board; Above the roaring of the gale I hear my Lord. 6. Safe to the land! safe to the land! The end is this, And then with Him go hand in hand, Far into bliss. Used With Tune: MIDDLETOWN Text Sources: MacMillan's Magazine, 1863

Stichera of the Resurrection

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.4.8.4 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When wicked hands had firmly sealed Lyrics: When wicked hands had firmly sealed The silent tomb, Then cam'st Thou forth, O Christ, as from The Virgin's womb. Thine Incarnation angels viewed With wondering gaze; And soldiers saw the empty tomb In strange amaze. Search they in vain, those mysteries lay In night concealed: The God-man and His rising were For ever sealed. Yet to the humble who by faith Their Lord adore, Those mysteries fade before their sight For evermore. Grant us who sing those mysteries now A claim to praise; And let Thy mercy bless our lives, Now, and always. Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, 1902 Text Sources: Parakletike, p. 193; Parakletike, p. 2
