May Day
Author: Mrs. A. L. Davison Hymnal: LSSS1870 #155 (1870) First Line: O the morning has dawned all so brightly Refrain First Line: Here the birds in their green lofty bowers Lyrics: 1 O the morning has dawned all so brightly,
And shadows have fled with the night,
To the forest we go tripping lightly,
All loveliness meeting our sight.
The daisies are bright in the grasses,
The violets bloom by their side,
The leaves in luxuriant masses,
Are green in their forest pride.
Chorus:
Here the birds in their green lofty bowers,
Bring your garlands of beautiful flowers.
2 1st Voice: For the winter has gone, and the gladness
Of the springtime has come to our land,
But away from your thoughts all of sadness,
Glad hearts must be those of our band.
2d Voice: The branches above us entwining,
The velvety turf neath our feet,
And beauty is ever combining,
To make our bright May Day most sweet.
3 1st Voice. Go you forth, then, with smiling and singing,
Let the forest respond with your glee,
All your loveliest offerings bringing,
Rejoice, and be gladsome and free.
2d Voice. And we will return in the gloaming,
When Whip-poor-wills sing in the trees,
And when the bright day swift is rolling
To a grave in the deep, deep seas.
Tune Title: [O the morning has dawned all so brightly]
May Day
Peaceful is her rest
Author: Mrs. A. L. Davison Hymnal: LSSS1870 #156 (1870) First Line: Snow-white hands are clasped on her breast Lyrics: 1 Snow-white hands are clasped on her breast,
Tender eyes have drooped into rest,
Grave-sods lie on th' stainless brow,
She is sleeping sweetly now.
Toll the mournful bell,
Dear child, farewell.
Chorus:
Peaceful is her rest,
On a Saviour's breast,
Loving care of the angels guard her now,
Softly, sweet, and low,
Angel anthems flow,
Hands of blessing are laid on her brow.
2 Gone so quickly out of her life,
Deathful hush in wearisome strife,
Gone from those who miss her so,
Buried in her grave so low.
Lost to earthly love,
But saved above. [Chorus]
3 Gone to meet on Heaven's fair shore
All the loved who passed on before,
Gone to clasp her brother's hand,
In that fair, that happy land,
Saved from earthly woe,
'Tis better no. [Chorus]
4 Life's evangel she shall now be,
And across the storm darkened sea,
Guide us home most lovingly,
With her calling "Come to me."
Seek this fairer shore,
And weep no more. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Snow-white hands are clasped on her breast]
Peaceful is her rest
Farewell song
Author: Mrs. A. L. Davison Hymnal: LSSS1870 #157 (1870) First Line: Alas that we must part Refrain First Line: Grieving so sadly, We whisper farewell Lyrics: 1 Alas that we must part,
Friends who have been so dear;
Be still each heavy heart,
There yet are words of cheer,
Perhaps we'll meet again,
Once more united be;
Once more clasp kindly hands,
Each others faces see.
Chorus:
Grieving so sadly, We whisper farewell,
While mournfully, slowly now toileth the bell,
Telling of partings that ever must be,
Till we through the darkness our Saviour shall see.
2 Our dearest loves decay,
On earth it must be so,
Lest we forget our heaven,
In bliss of life below,
So prone are human hearts
To wander far from God,
That parting scenes must be,
And paths of grief be trod. [Chorus]
3 Forget not all the joys,
Together we have known;
But let them still be dear,
When parted and alone,
And sometimes let each one,
Have tho'ts of prayer for those,
The friends to whom the tide
Of recollection flows. [Chorus]
4 It may be that the close
Of life be seen by some,
E'er meeting here again,
Our willing footsteps come,
Then will our prayerful tho'ts,
Swift haste them on their way
From earthly toil and care
To the Kingdom of the Day. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Alas that we must part]
Farewell song

Hymnal: LSSS1870 #158 (1870) First Line: We're marching on! we're marching on! Refrain First Line: For we're marching on! we're marching on! Lyrics: 1 We're marching on! we're marching on!
A little loyal band,
And want and woe wheree'er we go
Must vanish from our land,
For wine and ale and rum shall fall.
And Alcohol must flee,
We'll break the chain of vice in twain,
And set the captive free.
Chorus:
For we're marching on! we're marching on!
And though our way be long,
We'll keep it bright with faith by night,
And glad by day with song.
2 We're marching on! we're marching on!
With courage calm and high,
And still above with peace and love,
Our conquering banners fly,
At last the hosts of wrong shall yield
The right shall reign at last
For young and old we're bound to hold,
The temp'rance Standard fast!
Chorus:
For we're marching on! we're marching on!
A little loyal band,
Come woe or weal with fervent zeal,
Around our flag we'll stand.
3 We're marching on! we're marching on!
We would not go alone,
We call on those who hate our foes
To make our cause their own,
We call on those who love the truth,
The children of the Light,
With heart and hand to join the band,
And battle for the right.
Chorus:
For we're marching on! we're marching on!
A little loyal band,
Tho' death be near We will not fear,
The Lord will save our Land. Tune Title: [We're marching on! we're marching on!]
