Is the Spir­it now striv­ing with­in thee?
Is the Spir­it now striv­ing with­in thee?
On each word the sweet tones dwell­ing,
Out of the un­known coun­try
Angel voic­es, ho­ly voic­es,
Some rule of life with which to guide my feet;
Peace, good will, the bells are chim­ing;
Teach my tongue a word to speak,
Swing, snowy li­lies, to and fro;
But we hear the peace­ful wa­ters,
But we hear the peace­ful wa­ters,
Softly down the lapse of ag­es,
All night long, with plaint­ive voic­ing,

Soft and low

His pro­mise of par­don to give thee,
His pro­mise of par­don to give thee,
Easter morn is say­ing, say­ing,
“O plea­sant is that coun­try
Of a gar­den, fair and love­ly,
God’s will, God’s will to know,
Pealing out the old, sweet sto­ry,
Make me like a beam of light
Jesus is ris­en, emp­ty the grave;
And our Shep­herd whis­pers gent­ly
And our Shep­herd whis­pers gent­ly
(Glory in the high­est, glo­ry!)
Loftier strains of loud re­joic­ing
