Contemporary solo set to a lesser-known poem by Mary Baker Eddy. It’s moderate difficulty; it has a wide range that can be simplified using alternative notes provided. Flowing accompaniment. Includes bits of 'Joy to the World' in the accompaniment. A good solo for New Year.

Lyrics

A Dedicatory Poem

Lyics by: Mary Baker Eddy
Music by: Susan I. Lindquist

And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.— Isaiah.

Thou All in All, of every age,
And rising, radiant sphere—
Help us to write a deathless page
Of truth—this waning year.

Help us to humbly seek and sow
And reap Thy wise behest—
Whate’er the boon, a joy, or woe—
Knowing Thou knowest best.

Aid the soul-sense to soar and sing
Above the tempest’s glee;
Give us the eagle’s fearless wing,
The dove’s to mount to Thee.

All-Merciful, how faint, unfed,
Is every hungry heart;
Give us each day our daily bread,
In knowing what Thou art.

And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

The Lord is come.

Pleasant View, Concord, N. H., August, 1898.
