No Number Tallies Nature Up
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 No number tallies nature up,
no tribe its house can fill;
it is the shining fount of life
and pours the deluge still.
And gathers by its fragile powers
along the centuries
from race on race the rarest flowers,
its wreath shall nothing miss.
2 It writes the past in characters
of rock and fire and scroll,
the building in the coral sea,
the planting of the coal.
And thefts from satellites and rings
and broken stars it drew,
and out of spent and aged things
it formed the world anew.
3 Must time and tide forever run,
nor winds sleep in the west?
Will never wheels which whirl the sun
and satellites have rest?
Yet whirl the glowing wheels once more,
and mix the bowl again;
seethe, Fate, the ancient elements,
heat, cold, and peace, and pain.
4 Blend war and trade and creeds
and song, let ripen race on race,
the sunburnt world that we shall breed
of all the countless days.
No ray is dimmed, no atom worn,
the oldest force is new,
and fresh the rose on yonder thorn
gives back the heavens in dew. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The World of Nature; The Living Tradition; These Things Shall Be Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

O Lord, my God, Most Earnestly
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my God, most earnestly
my heart would seek Thy face,
within Thy holy house once more
to see Thy glorious grace.
Apart from Thee I long and thirst,
and naught can satisfy;
I wander in a desert land
where all the streams are dry.
2 The loving-kindness of my God
is more than life to me;
so I will bless Thee while I live
and lift my prayer to Thee.
In Thee my soul is satisfied,
my darkness turns to light,
and joyful meditations fill
the watches of the night.
3 My Savior, 'neath thy shelt'ring wings
my soul delights to dwell;
still closer to Thy side I press,
for near Thee all is well.
My soul shall conquer every foe,
upholden by Thy hand;
Thy people shall rejoice in God,
Thy saints in glory stand. Topics: Dedication Scripture: Psalm 63 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
