Cover them Over with Beautiful Flowers

Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Appears in 2 hymnals 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.

Witnessing for Christ

Author: Birdie Bell Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Do you know that Christ is list'ning? Refrain First Line: Are you witnessing for Jesus Lyrics: 1 Do you know that Christ is list'ning?

Let him hear your loving utt'rance, He is leaning from above! Chorus: Are you witnessing for Jesus, Glad to speak a loving word? List'ning, longing souls surround you, That dear story have they heard? 2 Once he sought you in his pity, You were far outside the fold; Oh, his love was deep and tender, Have you often the story told? In the wilderness so lonely, Jesus heard your feeble cry; Brought you home to life and gladness, Do you ever testify? [Chorus] 3 There are others in the desert, Seek them now and tell of him, Of his patience and forbearance When you wandered far from him; Tell them of the peace and shelter Offered to each homeless one; For if you refuse to tell them, How can they to Christ be won? [Chorus] 4 Does no sound e'er break the stillness? Does he know his child is dumb? Do not grieve him by your silence As the moments go and come! Thro' the swiftly flying moments He is list'ning from his throne; Be a true and faithful witness, Speak in eager, joyous tone.

The Power of Love
