Follow the Gleam

Appears in 63 hymnals First Line: To knights in the days of old Lyrics: 1 To knights in the days of old, Keeping vigil on mountain height, Came a vision of Holy Grail, And a voice thro’ the waiting night; “Follow, follow, follow the gleam, Banners unfurl over the world; Follow, follow, follow the gleam Of the chalice that is the Grail.” 2 And we would serve the King, And loyally Him obey, In the consecrate silence known, That the challenge still holds today; “Follow, follow, follow the gleam, Standards of worth over the earth; Follow, follow, follow the gleam Of the Light that shall bring the dawn. Used With Tune: [To knights in the days of old]

Follow the Gleam

Author: E. S. T. Hymnal: Exalt His Name #37 (1936) First Line: To knights in the days of old Refrain First Line: Saying, "follow, follow the gleam" Lyrics: 1. To the knights in the days of old, Keeping watch on the mountain height, Came a vision of Holy Grail, And a voice through the waiting night. Refrain: Saying, "follow, follow the gleam;" Signal and sign, long will it shine, If you follow, follow the gleam, It will lead to the light divine. 2. All we who would serve the Christ, Who loyally would obey, In the consecrate silence know That the challenge still holds today. 3. Like the knights of the Holy Grail, We too have our lifelong quest. By the grace that can never fail, We'll remember the vision blest. Languages: English Tune Title: [To knights in the days of old]

1881 - 1977 Composer of "CHALICE" in The New Hymnal for American Youth

Anonymous

Person Name: Unknown Composer of "FOLLOW THE GLEAM" in American Church and Church School Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
