Mysterious Presence Source Of All

"Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.

Amen and Amen."

Psalm 41:13

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 holy seer

With flame from Thine own altar fire.

That touch divine, still Lord, impart;

Still give the prophet's burning sword;

And, vocal in each waiting heart,

Let living psalms of praise be heard.
