"AND THE COMMON PEOPLE HEAR THEM GLADLY:

NEW YORK:

Published for the North Faiwly, Mt. Lebanon, N. Y.,

Copyright 1884, by Daniel Ostobd.

PREFACE.

The gift of songs, has been earnestly sought, and liberally obtained by the People, whose name these Hymns and songs bear. They are, without exception, the product of Brethren and Sisters of the Order, who, having had but little scientific, musical education, have, in their arrangement — poetical and musical — chiefly relied upon the teachings of the Spirit. Conscious of their scientific imperfections, they go to the public for what they are — the simple offering, of a simple people.

We claim that the words and music, are not all of Earth, nor all of Heaven : simply inspirational gifts, appropriate to, and illustrative of. the life and testimony of Believers in Christ's First and Second Appear- ing, which find continual use in their sacred worship ; wherein are seen Virgins rejoicing in the dance, both men and women together.

With this apology to Science and Art, we rest them upon their own merits, with those who love sincerity and beauty, for their own sake.

As a general rule, we have purposely omitted musical terms and dynamics, because, marks that are appropriate to one verse of a hymn, might not be suited to another. So, each one must be his or her own judge of the sentiment, and sing it accordingly.

In the contents we have marked all the songs that are sung for marches, M. and and slow marches S. M.

3 There is a realm where all is pure, Where naught but virtue sheds per- fume, Where living peace is ever sure,

Where joys eternal are in bloom. I work to gain the blest domain, Where souls redeemed in triumph reign. Transporting in the spheres above, Where all is harmony and love ; Transporting in the spheres above, Where all is harmony and love.

Elysian fields their glories bright,

Resplendent on my vision shed, Where virgin souls in cloudless light,

Among these fadeless beauties tread. O hallow'd spirits! blissful clime!

I crave your happiness sublime; A birthright in the spheres above,

Where all is harmony and love; A birthright in the spheres above,

Where all is harmony and love.

Through which our journey lay, Were, by the power of God's own hand, Controlled, and kept at bay.

We will sustain the structure,

Its noble form shall stand Unchanged, in all its purity,

The same as God hath planned. We will sustain the structure,

God, be our help and stay, Throughout our earthly pilgrimage,

Throughout eternal day.

In wickedness and vanity

No pleasure dost Thou show, No evil thing shall dwell with Thee,

All wrong Thou wilt o'erthrow ; The false shall not stand in Thy sight,

The flattering tongue Thou'lt bind, For truth with clear and glowing light

Will search the heart and mind. Those who rebel against Thy law,

And in defiance sin, Upon their souls true judgment draw,

And feel its pang within ; But as for me I'll seek a place

Within God's house of prayer, Where dwells His mercy, truth, and grace,

My soul shall worship there.

i— r

Within Thy temple songs of praise

Shall evermore resound, In anthems sweet my voice I'll raise

Tor blessings that abound ; Let them rejoice that in Thee trust,

And shout in songs of joy, Thou ever wilt defend the just

Who evil works destroy.

Those who Thy name adore and love,

Shall sound a joyful strain, As they advance to realms above,

Away from earth's low plane ; Thy favor to the righteous show,

O Lord, be Thou their shield, Till they Thy perfect life shall know,

In endless light revealed.

For something that enduring seems; Yet duty's path we will pursue,

Without a douht or cringing fear ; With lofty aim and purpose true ; We'll toil throughout the Glad New Year!

The tender chords of purest love,

With peace entwined, shall stronger grow ; We'll hear the spirit of the dove,

And kindness to the erring show ; With gentle words, and Christ-like deeds,

A monument of good we'll rear; While bliss, that fills our spirit needs,

Awaits us in the Glad New Year!

Like the light of hope that's beaming j

O'er the dark clouds rolling high, Love reveals far o'er them gleaming

Brighter worlds beyond the sky. Grant, thou Great Almighty Giver,

O'er our wild and bleak domain, Love may, like lost Eden's river,

Make this world to bloom again.

'Tis to God, and to each other,

Love unites us heart and hand, And will guide us, sister, brother,

Homeward to the promised land ; While we pray to be forgiven,

While we hope for heaven above, May our strife be all for union,

And our contest all for love.

His power my soul doth thrill, The elements at His command,

Our eternal home above ; Dwelling place of truth and goodness,

3 Bless the day, the liappy hour,

When the gospel trump was heard, Bringing forth that light and power,

That would reach a dying world. Sin-sick souls the call obeying,

Find deliverance from the fall ; While the faithless, still delaying,

Lose their precious day and call.

Shout again with deep emotion,

Let the joyful accents roll ; Blessed season of devotion,

How refreshing to the soul. Heavenly guardians, now before us.

Let your blessing crown the scene ; While we make sweet praise our chorus,

And salvation's prize our theme.

Dying to a lofty spirit, Over-hearing, proud and high, Stooping not with gentle pity, When tlie lowly passeth by. Dying unto false pretenses, Held in pure Religion's name, Cant, hypocrisy and grandeur — Silken robes for sin and shame.

Dying, that in resurrection, Grand and true the soul may rise, Noble type of God-like image Wrought through perfect sacrifice. Life is in the Christian's triumph, When from sin and bondage free, Lo, the prince of darkness cometh, And can find no place in me.

And marks the planet's course ? Makes earth a fruitful harvest yield ?

Renews each secret force 1 That same creative power, beholds

With tenderness and love, His noblest works where life unfolds,

Like types revealed above.

Awaits the human soul ! Beyond a brief mortality,

Where higher powers control. And step by step, a starry way

Will mark its progress on, Rejoicing in unclouded day,

In the temple of Wisdom and Love, For there I will ever protect thee from harm,

And fill thee with peace from above. No arrow that flieth by day,

Nor death-dealing meteor by night, No pestilence walking in gloom and dismay,

Shall fall on thy heavenward flight.

And those who my discipline bear When the tempest is dark in the sky, In the hour of silence, repentance and prayer My presence shall feel ever nigh. And when their probation is o'er, To the bright Summer Land they shall go, Where pain, and disease, and despair are no more, My glory supernal to know.

3 And who has ever fathomed such keenness of distress, Or who has ever tasted the depths of bitterness ; Like Him who cried in anguish, and sorest agony,

" My God ! My God ! why is it, Thou hast forsaken me ? "

4 Remember 'twas our Saviour who drank this bitter cup, And gave both soul and body, a willing offering up ; Whose voice in pitying accents, for persecutors too,

Was heard to say, " Forgive them, they know not what they do."

5 Let us be likewise able to show forgiving love,

With wisdom of the serpent, and mildness of the dove :

Thus prove ourselves true members of Christ, the heavenly Root,

Producing in abundance, the blessed gospel fruit.

6 Then, never fear, my brother, though seemingly alone ; And grow not sad, my sister, when heavy sorrows come, Since our dear Saviour suffered, — we can endure the rod ; And tribulation leads us. the lovelv road to God.
