Joyful Is the Dark

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #284 (1996) Meter: 10.10.11.10 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! Joyful is the dark, joyful is the dark, joyful is the dark.

The Cedar of Lebanon

Author: Richard Littledale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #779 Meter: 11.11.11.11.11.11 First Line: The Cedar of Lebanon, plant of renown Refrain First Line: All glory to God in the highest we sing Lyrics: 1. The Cedar of Lebanon, plant of renown, Hath bowed to the hyssop his wide spreading crown: The Son of the Highest, an Infant, is laid On the breast of His mother, that lowliest maid. Refrain All glory to God in the highest we sing, And peace upon earth through the newly born King. 2. From Star of the Sea the glad sunlight hath shined; Springs the Lion of Judah from Naphtali’s hind; The life from the dying, the rose from the thorn: The Maker of all things of maiden is born. [Refrain] 3. The manger of Bethlehem opens once more The gates of that Eden where man dwelt of yore, And He who is lying, a Child, in the cave, Hath conquered the foeman, hath ransomed the salve. [Refrain] 4. In midst of the Garden the tree of life stands, And offers His twelve fruits to lips and to hands, The Lord of Salvation, the Gentiles’ desire, Hath ta’en from the cherubs their sword-blade of fire. [Refrain] 5. On hole of the aspic the sucking Child plays, And His hand on the den of the cockatrice lays; The Dragon, which over a fallen world reigned, By the seed of the woman is vanquished and chained. [Refrain] 6. To Him who hath loved us, and sent us His Son, To Him who the victory for us hath won, To Him who sheds on us His sevenfold rays, Be honor and glory, salvation and praise. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CEDAR
