The Dead March

Author: Mary T. Lathrop Hymnal: AoP1882 #82 (1882) First Line: Tramp, tramp, tramp, in the drunkard's way Refrain First Line: Tramp, tramp, tramp Lyrics: 1 Tramp, tramp, tramp, in the drunkard’s way, March the feet of a million men, If none shall pity and none shall save, Where will all this marching end? The young, the strong, and the old are there, In woeful ranks as they hurry past With not a moment to think or care What the fate that comes at last. Refrain: Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, What a fearful, ghastly throng; Rouse, Christian, rouse ere it be too late, Rescue these souls from the drunkard’s fate. 2 Tramp, tramp, tramp, to a drunkard’s doom, Out of boyhood pure and fair, Over the thoughts of love and home, Past the check of a mother’s prayer, Onward and swift to a drunkard’s crime, Over the pleas of the wife and child Over the holiest ties of time, Reason lost, and soul gone wild. [Refrain] 3 Tramp, tramp, tramp till a drunkard’s grave Hides the broken life of shame, While souls that Jesus has died to save Meet a future we dare not name; God help us all—there’s a cross to bear, And work to do for the mighty throng; God give us strength, till the toil and prayer Shall give place to the victor’s song. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Tramp, tramp, tramp, in the drunkard's way]

Cast thy Bread upon the Waters

Hymnal: AoP1882 #87 (1882) First Line: Cast thy bread upon the waters ye who have but scant supply Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Ye who have but scant supply; Angel eyes will watch above it;— You shall find it by and by, He who in his righteous balance Doth each human action weigh Will your sacrifice remember, Will your loving deeds repay. 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Poor and weary, worn with care;— Often sitting in the shadow,— Have you not a crumb to spare? Can you not to those around you Sing some little song of hope, As you look with longing vision Thro’ faith’s mighty telescope? 3 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Ye who have abundant store; It may float on many a billow, It may strand on many a shore. You may think it lost forever, But as sure as God is true, In this life or in the other, It will yet return to you. 4 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Far and wide your treasures strew, Scatter it with willing fingers, Laugh for joy to see it go! For if you do closely keep it, It will only drag you down; If you love it more than Jesus, It will keep you from your crown. 5 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Waft it on with praying breath, In some distant, doubtful moment It may save a soul from death; When you sleep in solemn silence, ‘Neath the morn and evening dew, Stranger hands, which you have strengthened, May strew lilies over you. Tune Title: [Cast thy bread upon the waters]

Refrain: Dear home at Bethany! Sweet home at Bethany! Where Jesus oft would steal away To those he love at Bethany. 2 There gentle peace with silver tone Breathed hallowed music thro’ the place, And christian faith divinely shone From eye to eye, from face to face; And when the Master’s step drew near, At early morn or close of day, What joy to each their guest to cheer,— Their heavenly guest at Bethany. [Refrain] 3 His presence shed a lustre bright, A holy calm they knew so well, And from his lips, with pure delight, They reverenced every word that fell; O blessed Master, precious Friend, For this we ask, for this we pray, That thou in love will condescend To make our souls thy Bethany.
