O Hear Them Marching, Marching

Author: Marion F. Ham, 1867-1956 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O hear them marching, marching, The legions of good will, The men of peace who seek not To bomb and maim and kill; They march not to their conquest With battle flags unfurled; But with their gentle spirit They shall subdue the world. 2. Through all the bloodstained ages Their numbers have increased, The spirit struggling upward To overcome the beast; The meek who shall inherit And rule the warring earth, With patient faith are bringing The new regime to birth. 3. The men of war oppose them, And seek to bar the way, The powers of darkness striving To thwart the coming day; But, led by unseen forces, Their hosts are marching still, To build for future ages The kingdom of good will. 4. A mighty captain leads them, The valiant Prince of Peace; They shall possess the future, And ancient wrongs shall cease; O men of good will, marching To bloodless victory, We join your hosts in building The kingdom that shall be.

Aloft In Yonder Belfry

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Aloft in yonder belfry Now hangs our hallowed bell; Whene'er we hear its message, O may we heed it well. Its voice, to us appealing In tones so rich and clear, Shall call us all together, God's holy Word to hear. 2 Its joyous peal resounding On happy festal days Shall move the congregation To sing a hymn of praise; And when a faithful member His pilgrimage must end, Then may its knell, tho' solemn, A wealth of comfort lend. 3 Thus shall our joys and sorrows Be mingled with its sound Till we in heaven's mansions God's holy throne surround, With many thousand voices To glorify the Lord, Whose name by men and angels Is worshiped and adored. Amen. Topics: Dedication Church Bell Used With Tune: WEBB

There shall Thy sons and daughters The tree of life partake, Shall drink the living waters, And bread with Thee shall break. 3. Thy constant praises sounding Before Thy great white throne, They all in joy abounding Shall sing the song unknown; Laud, honor, praise, thanksgiving And glory ever be To Thee, the everlasting And blessèd Trinity.

O Come Before Jehovah

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O come before Jehovah And bless His holy name; With songs of grateful gladness Make known abroad His fame, Who with His arm of power Has been our help and shield, So that we stand undaunted And safely hold the field. 2 To God alone all glory Who helped us hitherto, Whose mercy and compassion Have been each morning new; Who kept our feet from stumbling And shed abroad His light When doubt and danger threatened To leave our souls in night. 3 We praise our heav'nly Father, Who filled us with His love, Who sent in fullest measure His mercy from above; Who helped us in our labors With courage ever new, That we to His example Might evermore be true. 4 Be with us, Lord, we pray Thee, As we pursue our way; Be with us, Lord, and keep us And bless us day by day, That we, Thy children, growing In spirit like to Thee, May serve Thee in our neighbor With fervent love and free.

When Spring Unlocks the Flowers

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil; When summer’s balmy showers refresh the mower’s toil; When winter binds in frosty chains the fallow and the flood; In God the earth rejoiceth still and owns his maker good. 2. The birds that wake the morning and those that love the shade; The winds that sweep the mountain or lull the drowsy glade; The sun that from his amber bower rejoiceth on his way, The moon and stars their master’s name in silent pomp display. 3. Shall man, the lord of nature, expectant of the sky, Shall man alone, unthankful, his little praise deny? No; let the year forsake his course, the seasons cease to be, Thee, Master, must we always love, and Savior, honor Thee. 4. The flowers of spring may wither, the hope of summer fade, The autumn droop in winter, the birds forsake the shade; The winds be lulled, the sun and moon forget their old decree; But we, in nature’s latest hour, O Lord, will cling to Thee!
