Mystery Of The Ages

Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great

and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do 

not know, do not distinguish and recognize, have 

knowledge of and understand."

Jeremiah 33:3

Mysterious Presence, Source of all-

The world without, the soul within,

Fountain of life, O hear our call,

And pour Thy living waters in!

Thou breathest in the rushing wind;

Thy Spirit stirs in leaf and flower;

Nor wilt Thou from the willing mind

Withhold Thy light and love and power.

Thy hand unseen to accents clear

Awoke the psalmist's trembling lyre,

And touched the lip of the holy seer

With flame from Thine own altar fire.

That touch divine, still, Lord, impart;

Still give the prophet's burning word;

And, vocal in each waiting heart,

Let living psalms of praise be heard.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above;

it comes down from the Father of all that gives light,

in the shining of Whom there can be no variation,

rising or setting or shadow cast by His turning

as in an eclipse."

James 1:17

"Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees, and all cedars!

Let them praise and exalt the name of the Lord, for His name

is exalted and supreme! His glory and majesty are above earth and heaven!"

Psalm 148:9,13
