Thou art holy, Fair and glorious, all victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou heavenly Brightness! Light divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar! Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me; turn and bless me; Here in sadness Eye and heart long for Thy gladness!

'Mid all the traffic of the ways

Author: John Oxenham Hymnal: HPAG1933 #322 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 ’Mid all the traffic of the ways— Turmoils without, within— Make in my heart a quiet place, And come and dwell therein: 2 A little shrine of quietness, All sacred to Thyself, Where Thou shalt all my soul possess, And I may find myself; 3 A little shelter from life’s stress, Where I may lay me prone, And bare my soul in loneliness, And know as I am known; 4 A little place of mystic grace, Of self and sin swept bare, Where I may look upon Thy face, And talk with Thee in prayer.

For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul; Always Thou lovedst me. Amen.

Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning?

Author: Archbishop Johann Olaf Wallin (1779-1839) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #329 (1950) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? My longing grows when day to night is turning; And though I find Him not as day recedeth My heart still pleadeth. 2 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him; Where sing the birds, where rush the streams I'm near Him. But better far when in my heart He blesses Me with caresses. 3 O where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing, What must the source be whence it comes— the Giver? Beauty forever. 4 And yet to hide Him oft a cloud prevaileth, My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth; Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving! 5 My soul, be strong! Hope, pray with self-denial! The heavenly Friend submits Himself to trial: So shalt thou find in Him, on Him depending, Mercy unending. Amen.
