PRAYER FOR FIFE AND DRUM
| Bless the drum and bless
the fife As they play the songs of life. Brave musicians bravely led As ancient armies marched ahead Into danger, risking all To keep alive their battle call. So keep us marching, drum and fife, As we face our storms and strife. Give us courage for our day, Remember why it is you play: |
Beat the drum to make us
strong To chose the right when faced with wrong And pipe our hearts to look above When vision dims the dreams of love. So give us hope and keep us true Until our marching days are through. Then let your rhythms guide our feet To muster upon God's golden street. --Reverend Timothy Haut |
In the Ancient Spirit, welcome
