beside the Syrian sea,

let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee!

O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity
interpreted by love,

till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.

thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,

How Shall I Sing That Majesty
Author: John Mason (1645?-1694) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #335 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty
which angels do admire?
Let dust in dust and silence lie;
sing, sing, ye heavenly choir!
Thousands of thousands stand around
thy throne, O God most high;
ten thousand times ten thousand sound
thy praise; but who am I?
2 Thy brightness unto them appears,
whilst I thy footsteps trace;
a sound of God comes to my ears,
but they behold thy face.
They sing because thou art their sun;
Lord, send a beam on me;
for where heaven is but once begun,
there hallelujahs be.
3 Enlighten with faith's light my heart,
inflame it with love's fire;
then shall I sing and bear a part
with that celestial choir.
I shall, I fear, be dark and cold,
with all my fire and light;
yet when thou dost accept their gold,
Lord, treasure up my mite.
4 How great a being Lord, is thine,
which doth all beings keep!
Thy knowledge is the only line
to sound so vast a deep:
thou art a sea without a shore,
a sun without a sphere;
thy time is now and evermore,
thy place is everywhere. Topics: Angels; Arts and Music; Communion of Saints; Praise of God Languages: English Tune Title: HURRLE

a breath unseen, unheard;
as though within a heart of stone,
or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
a pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
and thoughts of day depart,
half-seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name
for every child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the Scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Saviour and our Lord. Topics: Call and Vocation; Advent; Easter (third Sunday); Salvation/Redemption Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN

when minds are dull and hearts are cold,

to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.

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
as vivid truth and living Lord,
exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.
6 Then we will share his radiant brightness,
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight. Topics: Doubt; God Presence of; Light; Renewal; Truth; The Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: SPIRITUS VITRE

who, giving praise, finds energy and rest.
All who praise God with unaffected joy
give back to us the blessing we destroy.
2 God is our song, for Jesus comes to save;
while praising him, we offer all we have.
New songs we sing, in ventures new unite,
when Jesus leads us upward into light.
3 This is the song no conflict ever drowns;
who praises God all human wrath disowns.
Love knows what rich complexities of sound
God builds upon a simple, common ground.
4 God is our silence when no songs are sung,
when ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue.
Glorious the faith which silently obeys
until we find again the voice of praise. Topics: Adoration; Arts and Music; Praise of God Languages: English Tune Title: FARLEY CASTLE

Transfigured Christ, None Comprehends
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #168 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Transfigured Christ, none comprehends
your majesty, whose splendour stuns
all waking souls; whose light transcends
the brightness of a thousand suns!
2 You stand with Moses on the hill,
you speak of your new exodus.
The way through death, you will fulfil
by dying helpless on the cross.
3 You stand here with Elijah too,
by whom the still small voice was heard:
and you, yourself, will prove God true,
made mute in death, incarnate Word.
4 If we could bear your brightness here
and stay for ever in your light,
then we would conquer grief and fear,
and scorn the terrors of the night.
5 But, from the heights, you bring us down,
to share earth's agonies with you,
where piercing thorns are made your crown
and death, accepted, proves love true.
6 Majestic Christ, God's well-loved son,
if we must share your grief and loss,
transfigure us, when all is done,
with glory shining from your cross. Topics: Transfiguration Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKHAM

We sing your praise, eternal God
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #574 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Kings 19 Lyrics: 1 We sing your praise, eternal God,
to whom all praise belongs;
but we can never match your love,
however loud our songs:
2 Your love which comes so silently,
through all the noise we hear;
the noise of quarrelling and war,
the cries of grief and fear.
3 The winds of doubt uproot our faith,
the earthquakes of despair
destroy our hope, and fires of hate
kill love and stifle prayer.
4 And yet no sound on earth can drown
the silence we have heard;
the voice of your eternal love;
the silence of your Word.
5 It comes to guilty, broken hearts,
with challenge and release;
prepares us for self-sacrifice
and speaks eternal peace. Topics: Doubt; Fear; God Love of; Justice and Peace; Peace Languages: English Tune Title: THIS ENDRIS NYGHT
