To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
Author: William Blake, 1757-1827 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #93 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
all pray in their distress,
and to those virtues of delight
return their thankfulness,
return their thankfulness.
2 For Mercy has a human heart,
and Pity a human face;
and Love, the human form divine,
and Peace, the human dress,
and Peace, the human dress.
3 Then every one, of every clime,
that prays in deep distress,
prays to the human form divine —
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace,
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Meditation and Mystical Songs; Compassion; Gratitude; Humanism; Humankind Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN

I Cannot Think of Them as Dead
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #96 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 I cannot think of them as dead
who walk with me no more;
along the path of life I tread
they are but gone before,
they are but gone before.
2 And still their silent ministry
within my heart has place
as when on earth they walked with me
and met me face to face,
and met me face to face.
3 Their lives are made forever mine;
what they to me have been
has left henceforth its seal and sign
engraven deep within,
engraven deep within.
4 Mine are they by an ownership
nor time nor death can free;
for God has given to love to keep
its own eternally,
its own eternally. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Transience; Change; Death and Life; The Living Tradition; Memorials and Funerals; Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: DISTANT BELOVED

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: Breaking Bread (Vol. 39) #100 (2019) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around,
And glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind;
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and humankind,
To you and humankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior, who is Christ, the Lord,
And this shall be the sign,
And this shall be the sign:
4 "The heav'nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the seraph; and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song,
Addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
And on the earth be peace:
Good will henceforth from heav'n to all,
Begin and never cease!
Begin and never cease!" Topics: Seasonal Music Christmas Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS

Peter's Chanty
Author: Herman G. Stuempfle, Jr. Hymnal: Sing With Me #115 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 First Line: You never saw old Galilee Lyrics: 1 You never saw old Galilee
so friendly and so fair.
My mates and I sang merrily
and never had a care,
and never had a care.
2 Out where the sea runs green and cold
and many fathoms deep,
I called my mates, "Look in the hold!
The Master's gone asleep!
The Master's gone asleep!"
3 And then the clouds grew grim and black;
there blew an awful gale.
"Heave to, my mates, the mast will crack,
if we don't low'r the sail,
if we don't low'r the sail!"
4 The rain poured down, the waves leapt high,
the winds they whipped us round
and tossed us toward the terrible sky
and roared their terrible sound,
and roared their terrible sound.
5 We roused the Master from his sleep
and called his name in dread:
"Come, save us from the awful deep,
or we're as good as dead,
or we're as good as dead!"
6 Then up he stood against the gale,
and told the storm to cease.
Tempestuous winds broke off their wail;
waves calmed and lay at peace,
waves calmed and lay at peace.
7 So, friends, although the sea be wide,
and though your boat be small,
there's naught to fear from time or tide;
the Master's Lord of all,
the Master's Lord of all.
8 Then sing, my friends, sing merrily;
O sing both bold and brave.
The One who made the surging sea
still rules the wind and wave,
still rules the wind and wave. Topics: Know Epiphany/Ministry and Teaching of Christ Scripture: Matthew 8:23-27 Languages: English Tune Title: PETER'S CHANTY
