Hymn 694 – SOLEMNLY without a romp | C&S English Hymnary

1. SOLEMNLY without a romp Solemnly the sun doth rise When at sunrise doth emerge Men the sky, the sun may gaze Gently its gleams brighter raise Gently, brighter grows in strength Brighter, growing forth to peak To the glory ne'er to gaze. 2. Darkness with o’erwhelming might Nay with sound worthy of note Gentle moon and shinning stars Beaming light upon the earth Nay with roaring sound doth come Mighty drips of heav'nly dew All around the earth descend Nay with sound worthy of note. 3. Mys-te-rious the deeds of God Amidst the Seraphim fold Though feeble and frail we be And we descreseth in strength But the providence of God On us all day doth descend By the power and might of God This abode doth accomplish. 4. This day God our thanks we give Members of Seraphim fold All the young and all the old Male folks and the female folks Host and visitors alike Our thanks we offer to Thee In this sanctuary divine All our thanks Father receive. 5. Father God, the Trinity Who art this fold established This house consecrate we plead By Thine power and sacred might Descend Lord today we plead With Holy Spirit inspire Adopt us all, Thine to be Here on earth and there above AMEN
