Stand like an anvil, when the stroke
Author: Bishop Doane Hymnal: MCGC1891 #231 (1891) Lyrics: 1 Stand like an anvil, when the stroke
Of stalwart men falls fierce and fast;
Storms but more deeply root the oak,
Whose brawny arms embrace the blast.
2 Stand like an anvil, when the sparks
Fly far and wide a fiery shower;
Virtue and truth must still be marks
Where malice proves its want of power.
3 Stand like an anvil, when the bar
Lies red and glowing on its breast;
Duty shall be life's leading star,
And conscious innocence its rest.
4 Stand like an anvil, when the sound
Of pond'rous hammers pains the ear;
Thine but the still and stern rebound
Of the great heart that cannot fear.
5 Stand like an anvil; noise and heat
Are born with earth and die with time;
The soul, like God, its source and seat,
Is solemn, still, serene, sublime. Languages: English
Stand like an anvil, when the stroke
Through lanes with hedge-rows pearly go forth the reapers early
Hymnal: MCGC1891 #232 (1891) Lyrics: 1 Through lanes with hedge-rows pearly go forth the reapers early
Among the yellow corn, among the yellow corn;
Good luck betide their shearing, for winter's tide is nearing,
And we must fill the barn, and we must fill the barn.
Chorus:
Tralla la la, tralla la la! the busy harvest time.
Tralla la la, tralla la la! the busy harvest time.
2 At noon they leave the meadow, beneath the friendly shadow
Of monarch oak to dine, of monarch oak to dine;
And 'mid his branches hoary goes up the thankful story,
The harvest is so fine, the harvest is so fine.
Chorus:
Tralla la la, tralla la la! the blessed harvest time.
Tralla la la, tralla la la! the blessed harvest time.
3 And when the west is burning, from shaven field returning,
Up on the wain they come, up on the wain they come;
When all their hamlet neighbors rejoice to end their labors,
With merry harvest home, with merry harvest home.
Chorus:
Tralla la la, tralla la la! the joyous harvest time.
Tralla la la, tralla la la! the joyous harvest time. Languages: English
Through lanes with hedge-rows pearly go forth the reapers early
