Beat the drum to make us strong
--Reverend Timothy Haut
PRAYER FOR FIFERS AND DRUMMERS
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:
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.
