Though Despair, Like Deepest Darkness

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Courage and Perseverance Lyrics: 1 Though despair, like deepest darkness has descended on our land, and discouraged hope of living out our faith by your command, you remind us, God, that sometimes love seems hidden, but shines on, offering new life to all people like the brightness of the dawn. 2 God of love, our dawn in darkness, shine with hope on our despair; give us strength to stand for justice, heart to speak for what is fair. Give us grace to treat our neighbors with both kindness and respect, to befriend outsiders, strangers other people may reject. 3 In our nation so divided, in our world that cries for peace, let your love shine through the darkness, that all fears and doubts may cease. Grant us patience, understanding, and a will to share the light of your love with one another, as we seek to do what’s right. Scripture: Isaiah 2:5 Used With Tune: LOVE'S LIGHT SHINING

Forward, all the life-time, Climb from height to height: Till the head be hoary, Till the eve be light. 3 Forward, flock of Jesus, Salt of all the earth; Till each yearning purpose Springs to glorious birth; Sick, they ask for healing, Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom’s loving ray. Forward, out of error, Leave behind the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into light! 4 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word: Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the vail be lifted, Till our faith be sight!
