AU RUhta nttarrtd. 1 The Guidite World of Music By Miss Ethel Jones The Old Hymn Last week we spoke of the spir itual message given to us through the music of such great composers as Bach, Handel and Beethoven. We would not feel that this article was complete without also paying our tribute of the simple old hymns These verses will speak for us. ‘ There’s lots of music in 'em The hymns of long ago And when some gray haired brother Sings the ones I used to know ,1 sorter want to take a hand; 1 think of days gone by— “On Jordan’s stormy banks, I stand | And cast a wistful eye.” * There's lots of music in 'em— Those dear, sweet hymns of old, With visions bright of lands of light And shining streets of gold; And I hear 'em ringing, singing, Where mem’ry, dreaming, stands, [“From Greenland’s icy mountains To Indias coral stands.” They seem to sing forever Of holier, sweeter days, When lilies of the love of God Bloomed white in all the ways; And I want to ’hear their music From the old time meetin’ rise, Till I can read my title dear To mansions in the skies. x We never neded singin’ books, Jr. them old days, we knew The words, the tunes of every one The dear old hymn book through We didn’t ave no trumpets then, Nn organs built for show, We only sang to praise the Lord “From whom all blessings flew.” And so I love the old hymns And when my time shall come, cfore my light has left me, And my singing lips are dumb If I can hear ’em singing them then I’ll pass without a sigh To “Canaan’s fair and happy land Where my possessions lie ” --o !
