I	A
'Encore un hymne O ma lyre	B
Un hymn pour le Seigneur	B
Un hymne dans mon delire	B
Un hymne dans mon bonheur '	C
	-
	-
One hymn more O my lyre	B
Praise to the God above	D
Of joy and life and love	D
Sweeping its strings of fire	B
	-
Oh who the speed of bird and wind	E
And sunbeam's glance will lend to me	F
That soaring upward I may find	E
My resting place and home in Thee	F
Thou whom my soul midst doubt and gloom	G
Adoreth with a fervent flame	H
Mysterious spirit unto whom	G
Pertain nor sign nor name	H
	-
Swiftly my lyre's soft murmurs go	I
Up from the cold and joyless earth	J
Back to the God who bade them flow	I
Whose moving spirit sent them forth	K
But as for me O God for me	F
The lowly creature of Thy will	L
Lingering and sad I sigh to Thee	F
An earth bound pilgrim still	L
	-
Was not my spirit born to shine	M
Where yonder stars and suns are glowing	N
To breathe with them the light divine	M
From God's own holy altar flowing	N
To be indeed whate'er the soul	O
In dreams hath thirsted for so long	P
A portion of heaven's glorious whole	O
Of loveliness and song	P
	-
Oh watchers of the stars at night	Q
Who breathe their fire as we the air	B
Suns thunders stars and rays of light	Q
Oh say is He the Eternal there	B
Bend there around His awful throne	R
The seraph's glance the angel's knee	F
Or are thy inmost depths His own	R
O wild and mighty sea	F
	-
Thoughts of my soul how swift ye go	I
Swift as the eagle's glance of fire	B
Or arrows from the archer's bow	S
To the far aim of your desire	B
Thought after thought ye thronging rise	T
Like spring doves from the startled wood	U
Bearing like them your sacrifice	V
Of music unto God	W
	-
And shall these thoughts of joy and love	D
Come back again no more to me	F
Returning like the patriarch's dove	D
Wing weary from the eternal sea	F
To bear within my longing arms	X
The promise bough of kindlier skies	T
Plucked from the green immortal palms	Y
Which shadow Paradise	V
	-
All moving spirit freely forth	K
At Thy command the strong wind goes	Z
Its errand to the passive earth	J
Nor art can stay nor strength oppose	Z
Until it folds its weary wing	N
Once more within the hand divine	M
So weary from its wandering	N
My spirit turns to Thine	M
	-
Child of the sea the mountain stream	A2
From its dark caverns hurries on	B2
Ceaseless by night and morning's beam	A2
By evening's star and noontide's sun	C2
Until at last it sinks to rest	D2
O'erwearied in the waiting sea	F
And moans upon its mother's breast	D2
So turns my soul to Thee	F
	-
O Thou who bidst the torrent flow	I
Who lendest wings unto the wind	E
Mover of all things where art Thou	S
Oh whither shall I go to find	E
The secret of Thy resting place	E2
Is there no holy wing for me	F
That soaring I may search the space	E2
Of highest heaven for Thee	F
	-
Oh would I were as free to rise	T
As leaves on autumn's whirlwind borne	F2
The arrowy light of sunset skies	T
Or sound or ray or star of morn	F2
Which melts in heaven at twilight's close	G2
Or aught which soars unchecked and free	F
Through earth and heaven that I might lose	H2
Myself in finding Thee	F
	-

II	A
LE CRI DE L'AME	H
	-
'Quand le souffle divin qui flotte sur le monde '	-
	-
When the breath divine is flowing	N
Zephyr like o'er all things going	N
And as the touch of viewless fingers	I2
Softly on my soul it lingers	I2
Open to a breath the lightest	J2
Conscious of a touch the slightest	J2
As some calm still lake whereon	F2
Sinks the snowy bosomed swan	F2
And the glistening water rings	K2
Circle round her moving wings	K2
When my upward gaze is turning	N
Where the stars of heaven are burning	N
Through the deep and dark abyss	L2
Flowers of midnight's wilderness	M2
Blowing with the evening's breath	N2
Sweetly in their Maker's path	O2
When the breaking day is flushing	N
All the east and light is gushing	N
Upward through the horizon's haze	P2
Sheaf like with its thousand rays	P2
Spreading until all above	D
Overflows with joy and love	D
And below on earth's green bosom	Q2
All is changed to light and blossom	Q2
	-
When my waking fancies over	B
Forms of brightness flit and hover	B
Holy as the seraphs are	B
Who by Zion's fountains wear	B
On their foreheads white and broad	R2
'Holiness unto the Lord '	-
When inspired with rapture high	A
It would seem a single sigh	A
Could a world of love create	S2
That my life could know no date	S2
And my eager thoughts could fill	L
Heaven and Earth o'erflowing still	L
	-
Then O Father Thou alone	F2
From the shadow of Thy throne	F2
To the sighing of my breast	D2
And its rapture answerest	D2
All my thoughts which upward winging	N
Bathe where Thy own light is springing	N
All my yearnings to be free	F
Are at echoes answering Thee	F
	-
Seldom upon lips of mine	F2
Father rests that name of Thine	F2
Deep within my inmost breast	D2
In the secret place of mind	D2
Like an awful presence shrined	D2
Doth the dread idea rest	D2
Hushed and holy dwells it there	B
Prompter of the silent prayer	B
Lifting up my spirit's eye	A
And its faint but earnest cry	A
From its dark and cold abode	D2
Unto Thee my Guide and God	D2
