May Nothing Evil Cross This Door
Author: Louis Untermeyer, 1885-1977 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #1 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The Celebration of Life Lyrics: 1 May nothing evil cross this door,
and may ill fortune never pry
about these windows; may the roar
and rain go by.
2 By faith made strong, the rafters will
withstand the battering of the storm.
This hearth, though all the world grow chill,
will keep you warm.
3 Peace shall walk softly through these rooms,
touching our lips with holy wine,
till ev'ry casual corner blooms
into a shrine.
4 With laughter drown the raucous shout,
and, though these sheltering walls are thin,
may they be strong to keep hate out
and hold love in. Languages: English Tune Title: OLDBRIDGE

The World Stands Out on Either Side
Author: Edna St. Vincent Millay, 1892-1950 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #3 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The Celebration of Life Lyrics: 1 The world stands out on either side
no wider than the heart is wide;
above the world is stretched the sky
no higher than the soul is high.
2 The heart can push the sea and land
so far away on either hand;
the soul can split the sky in two
and let the face of God shine through. Languages: English Tune Title: RICKER

I Brought My Spirit to the Sea
Author: Max Kapp, 1904-1979 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #4 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The Celebration of Life Lyrics: 1 I brought my spirit to the sea;
I stood upon the shore.
I gazed upon infinity,
I heard the waters roar.
2 And then there came a sense of peace,
some whisper calmed my soul.
Some ancient ministry of stars
had made my spirit whole.
3 I brought my spirit to the trees
that loomed against the sky.
I touched each wand’ring careless breeze
to know if God was nigh.
4 And then I felt an inner flame that
fiercely burned my tears.
Upright, I rose from bended knee
to meet the asking years. Languages: English Tune Title: JACQUI
I Brought My Spirit to the Sea
It Is Something to Have Wept
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #5 (1993) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The Celebration of Life First Line: It is something to have wept as we have wept Lyrics: 1 It is something to have wept as we have wept,
and something to have done as we have done;
it is something to have watched when all have slept,
and seen the stars which never see the sun.
2 It is something to have smelt the mystic rose,
although it break and leave the thorny rods;
it is something to have hungered once as those
must hunger who have ate the bread of gods:
3 To have known the things that from the weak are furled,
the fearful ancient passions, strange and high;
it is something to be wiser than the world,
and something to be older than the sky.
4 Lo, and blessed are our ears for they have heard:
yea, blessed are our eyes for they have seen:
let the thunder break on human, beast, and bird,
and lightning. It is something to have been. Languages: English Tune Title: KEITH
It Is Something to Have Wept

No Longer Forward nor Behind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #9 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.8.8.6 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The Celebration of Life Lyrics: 1 No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
but, grateful, take the good I find,
the best of now and here.
I break my pilgrim staff,
I lay aside the toiling oar;
the angel sought so far away
I welcome at my door.
2 For all the jarring notes of life
seem blending in a psalm,
and all the angles of its strife
slow rounding into calm.
And so the shadows fall apart,
and so the west winds play;
and all the windows of my heart
I open to the day. Languages: English Tune Title: VAN DIEMAN'S LAND
No Longer Forward nor Behind
Immortal Love
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #10 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The Celebration of Life First Line: Immortal love, forever full Lyrics: 1 Immortal love, forever full,
forever flowing free,
forever shared, forever whole,
a never-ending sea!
2 Our outward lips confess the name
all other names above;
but love alone knows whence it came
and comprehendeth love.
3 Blow, winds of love, awake and blow
the mists of hate away:
sing out, O Truth divine, and tell
how wide and far we stray.
4 The letter fails, the systems fall,
and every symbol wanes;
the Spirit over-seeing all,
Eternal Love, remains. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA
Immortal Love
