I Cannot Think of Them as Dead
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #96 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Topics: The Living Tradition Lyrics: 1 I cannot think of them as dead
who walk with me no more;
along the path of life I tread
they are but gone before,
they are but gone before.
2 And still their silent ministry
within my heart has place
as when on earth they walked with me
and met me face to face,
and met me face to face.
3 Their lives are made forever mine;
what they to me have been
has left henceforth its seal and sign
engraven deep within,
engraven deep within.
4 Mine are they by an ownership
nor time nor death can free;
for God has given to love to keep
its own eternally,
its own eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: DISTANT BELOVED

whatever their oppression,
of all who make the world more fair,

shall be our blest possession. Languages: English Tune Title: MIT FREUDEN ZART

Forward Through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #114 (1993) Topics: The Living Tradition Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine:
gifts in differing measure,
hearts of one accord,
manifold the service,
one the sure reward.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
2 Wider grows the vision,
realm of love and light;
for it we must labor,
till our faith is sight.
Prophets have proclaimed it,
martyrs testified,
poets sung its glory,
heroes for it died.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
3 Not alone we conquer,
not alone we fall;
in each loss or triumph
lose or triumph all.
Bound by God’s far purpose
in one living whole,
move we on together
to the shining goal.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.

cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,

nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee! Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY

has received thine inspirations,
glimpses of thy truth sublime.

passed the heavenly veil within,

in growing clearness saw;
conscience spoke its condemnation,
or proclaimed eternal law.
While thine inward revelations
told thy saints their prayers were heard,
prophets to the guilty nations
spoke thine everlasting word.
3 Lo, that word abideth ever;
revelation is not sealed;
answering now to our endeavor,
truth and right are still revealed.
That which came to ancient sages,
Greek, Barbarian, Roman, Jew,
written in the soul’s deep pages,
shines today, forever new. Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE
