The Old Hymn*
There’s lots of music in 'em— the hymn s
of long ago,
And when some gray-haired brother
sings the ones I used to know
I sorter want to take a hand—I think of
days gone by—
“On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and
east a wistful eye”l
There's lots of music in 'em—those dear
sweet hymns of old,
With visions bright of lands of light and
and shining streets of gold;
And I hear ’em ringing—singing- where
Memory dreaming stands,
“From Greenland’s icy mountains to
India’s coriais 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 the music from the
old-time meetin’s rise
Till “I can read my title clear to mansions
in the skies.’’
We never needed singiii’ hooks in them
old days—we knew—
The words, the tunes of every one—the
dear old hymn hook thtoug;
We didn’t have no trumpets then, no
organs built for show,
We only sang to praise the Lord From
whom all blessings flow.”
An’ so I love tiie good old hymns and
when my time shall come—
Before the light has left me, and my
singing lips are dumb—
If I,can hear ’em singing them, I’ll pass
without a sigh
To “Caiman’s fair and happy land, where
my possessions lie.”
—Frank L. Stanton
