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 ”
