A hard heart

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #320 (1888) Topics: Darkness Spiritual First Line: Oh, this soul, how dark and blind! Lyrics: 1 Oh, this soul, how dark and blind! Oh, this foolish, earthly mind! Oh, this froward, selfish will, Which refuses to be still! Oh, these ever-roaming eyes, Upward that refuse to rise! Oh, those wayward feet of mine, Found in every path but thine! 2 Oh, this stubborn, prayerless knee, Hands so seldom clasped to thee, Longings of the soul, that go Like the wild wind, to and fro! To and fro, without an aim, Turning idly whence they came, Bringing in no joy, no bliss, Only adding weariness! 3 Giver of the heavenly peace! Bid, oh, bid these tumults cease; Minister thy holy balm; Fill me with thy Spirit's calm: Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way, Leave me not in sin to stay; Bearer of the sinner's guilt, Lead me, lead me, as thou wilt. Scripture: Isaiah 42:16 Languages: English Tune Title: CULFORD

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus, ca. 675-749; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #199 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness! God has brought forth Israel into joy from sadness, loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke Jacob’s sons and daughters; led them with unmoistened foot through the Red Sea waters. 2 ’Tis the spring of souls today: Christ has burst his prison, and from three days’ sleep in death as a sun has risen. All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from the Light to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Neither could the gates of death, nor the tomb’s dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal, hold you as a mortal: but today, among your own, you appear, bestowing your deep peace, which evermore passes human knowing. 4 Alleluia! Now we cry to our Lord immortal, who, triumphant, burst the bars of the tomb’s dark portal; Alleluia! With the Son, God the Father praising; Alleluia! Yet a gain to the Spirit raising. Scripture: Matthew 28:1-9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. KEVIN

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and vale in slumber sleeping, I my loving vigil keeping, All through the night. 2 While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night; While the weary world is sleeping All through the night. Over thy spirit gently stealing, Visions of delight revealing, Breathes a pure and holy feeling, All through the night. 3 Deep the silence round us spreading, All through the night; Dark the path that we are treading, All through the night. Still the coming day discerning, By the hope within us burning, To the dawn our footsteps turning, All through the night. 4 Star of Faith the dark adorning, All through the night; Leads us fearless toward the morning, All through the night. Though our hearts be wrapped in sorrow, From the home of dawn we borrow, Promise of a glad tomorrow, All through the night. Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS
