Cover them Over with Beautiful Flowers

Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: LV1898 #172 (1898) First Line: With uncovered head we are standing today Refrain First Line: O cover them over these soldiers who sleep Lyrics: 1 With uncovered head we are standing today, Where valor lies sleeping our tribute to pay, At the shrine of these dear sainted heroes of ours, And cover them over with beautiful flow'rs. Chorus: O cover them over these soldiers who sleep, They'll not be forgotten, so why should we weep? They saved as a unit this country of ours, So cover them over with beautiful flow'rs. 2 When the trumpet first sounded their country's alarms, They left their dear firesides and sprang to their arms, They fought, bled, and died, to preserve freedom's bow'rs, Now cover them over with beautiful flow'rs. [Chorus] 3 Sleep on honored dead, e'er remembered you'll be, While zephyrs blow over the land of the free, Loving hands will erect, to your memory tow'rs, And cover you over with beautiful flow'rs. [Chorus] 4 Sleep, peacefully sleep in your dreams, never more Will your rest be broken by nightmares of war, Nor reveille call you at still morning hours, Sleep on, covered over with beautiful flow'rs. [Chorus] 5 In Columbia's Pantheon, temple of fame, Your deeds are recorded, immortal your name, At recital of them base infamy cow'rs, Now rest, covered over with beautiful flow'rs. [Chorus] 6 Rest on, undisturbed by the changes of time, While fingers weave garlands, your shafts to entwine, While your graves are refreshed by the God given show'rs, Rest on, covered over with beautiful flow'rs.

The Power of Love

Author: Rev. W. J. Stuart, A. M. Hymnal: LV1898 #173 (1898) First Line: How great the pow'r that holds us fast Lyrics: 1 How great the pow'r that holds us fast, To idols of the world! How quick the joys of sin are past Their folly soon unfurl'd! 2 How blind are we to all that's good, When sin obscures the day! How weak to do the task we should, When Satan leads the way! 3 But there's a pow'r that's greater still, Than Satan's or of sins, For one who seeks to do God's will, The conquest surely wins. 4 His grace is freely promised those, Who in His Word believe, They surely conquer all their foes, New strength they shall receive. 5 Thus stronger is the love that binds To God's great throne of might, The soul that heaven's wisdom finds, Will have increasing light. 6 Who would not have this wondrous love, When its so freely giv'n? Who would not have a home above, At God's right hand in heav'n? Topics: Devotional Languages: English Tune Title: [How great the pow'r that holds us fast]

Beautiful Vision

Author: Jesse P. Tompkins Hymnal: LV1898 #180 (1898) First Line: Like a silver boat the moon glides free Refrain First Line: Beautiful vision, beautiful home Lyrics: 1 Like a silver boat the moon glides free, Thro' the soft, white foam of the starry sea, And my soul seems drifting, with rapid flight, Away, far away, on the waves of light; And in thoughtful fancy my vision falls On the gates of pearl and the jasper walls. Chorus: Beautiful vision, beautiful home, Brighter than moon or stars; O may that vision be true for me, When death shall unlock the bars. 2 'Twas a fancy bright, yet fair to me Were the fields of green and the crystal sea, And the eyes aglow with the morning light, With never a teardrop to dim their sight; And the songs that fell on my list'ning ear Were the sweet home songs that in dreams I hear. [Chorus] 3 Then a cloud came o'er the silver moon, And alas, my vision was o'er too soon; If my soul was stirred by that dream so sweet, O what will it be in the morn complete When the bands are broken and I am free? Then I'll sail away o'er the mystic sea. [Chorus] Topics: Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [Like a silver boat the moon glides free]

Jesus, Saviour, Pilot me

Author: Rev. Edward Hopper, D. D. Hymnal: LV1898 #181 (1898) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me, Over life's tempestuous sea, Unknown waves around me roll, Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal, Chart and compass come from thee, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boist'rous waves obey thy will, When thou sayest, "Peace, be still;" Wondrous sov'reign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and my peaceful rest, Then while leaning on thy breast, May I hear thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee."
