Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 10.10.11.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 First Line: Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden, God Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden God,
Rolling cloud of night beyond all naming:
Majesty in darkness, Energy of love,
Word-in-Flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark, Spirit of the deep,
Winging wildly o'er the world's creation,
Silken sheen of midnight plumage black and bright,
Swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark, shadowed stable floor;
Angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
As with exultation, Mary, giving birth,
Hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark, coolness of the tomb,
Waiting for the wonder of the morning;
Never was that midnight touched by dread and gloom:
Darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark, depth of love divine,
Roaring, looming thundercloud of glory;
Holy, haunting beauty, living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Used With Tune: JOYFUL DARKNESS
Joyful Is the Dark

Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove! With all thy quickening powers
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,228 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove!
With all thy quickening powers;
Kindle a flame of heavenly love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 Look, how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls can neither fly nor go
To reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 Dear Lord! and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great?
5 Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; Invocation for Spiritual Help
Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove! With all thy quickening powers
