Tabb Centenary Year L Five lyrics by Rev. John B. Tabb. Sicut in Principio
A pentecostal breath— 1910 (p. 115, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Life) To the Wheatfield
Give us this day our daily bread. March 1906 (p. 103, Nature: Miscellaneous) Christ and the Winds
From Bethlehem to Calvary, 1910 (p. 194, Religion: Christ) Waves
We sighed of old till underneath His feet March 1909 (p. 117, Life, Death and Similar Themes: Life) A Wind-Call
Dust thou art, and unto dust, March 1904 (p. 52, Nature: The Wind) [“Sicut in Principio”: Latin, as in the beginning; Pentecost is the day on which Christians celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first disciples, Acts 2: “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming: and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.” “To the Wheatfield”: the first line is from the Lord's Prayer, Luke 11:3. “Waves”: the first quatrain quotes from the Gospel story of the Lord Jesus calming the storm at sea, Mark 4:35-40. “A Wind-Call”: the Israelites were oppressed in Egypt, forced to construct buildings, including making the bricks; see the first five chapters of Exodus.] Lane Core Jr. CIW P Sun. 09/20/09 02:35:12 PM |
