Twilight Song Service
Reading edition
(“B.A.” Chestnut Hill, Mass.)
In the deepening twilight there floats From the chapel above, the loved hymns of healing— Hymns of comfort, of courage, welling up from grateful hearts And bringing reassurance of God’s power To one who listens below in silent prayer and praise. Great peace of God, be with us all! Great peace of God encompass us! Speak to the waves tonight, Father, that they stand. Stretch forth Thy hand and stay their power, Calm them, that they overwhelm not. For Thy voice is “mightier than the noise of many waters, Yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.” This Thou canst do, O my God.
