EXCELSIOR (BOOTH)
Looking Upward Every Day
Author: Mary Butler Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Looking upward every day,
Sunshine on our faces;
Pressing onward every day
Toward the heavenly places;
2. Growing every day in awe,
For Thy name is holy;
Learning every day to love
With a love more lowly;
3. Walking every day more close
To our elder brother;
Growing every day more true
Unto one another;
4. Leaving every day behind
Something which might hinder;
Running swifter every day;
Growing purer, kinder—
5. Lord, so pray we every day:
Hear us in Thy pity,
That we enter in at last
To the holy city. Used With Tune: EXCELSIOR Text Sources: Mrs. Brock's Children's Hymn Book, 1881

Small Church Music
Editors: Mary Butler Description:
History
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions.
About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
Mobile App
We have partnered with the developer of the popular NetTracks mobile app to offer the Small Church Music collection as a convenient mobile app. Experience the beloved Small Church Music collection through this iOS app featuring nearly 10,000 high-quality hymn recordings that can be organized into custom setlists and downloaded for offline use—ideal for worship services without musicians, congregational practice, and personal devotion. The app requires a small fee to cover maintenance costs. Please note: While Hymnary.org hosts this music collection, technical support for the app is provided exclusively by the app developer, not by Hymnary.org staff.
LicensingCopyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted. For permission to use them for any other purposes, please contact manager@hymnary.org.
