Ajoutée par crosby3145, 04 Jun 2018 Stirring arrangement of Sparkling Gems, perfect for prelude, offertory, or other special service music In 1928, Virgil O. Stamps and J. R. Baxter, Jr., of The Stamps-Baxter Music Company put out a new singing pamphlet, entitled Sparkling Gems. The theme of this hymnal was expressed by song--two of them, in fact. Baxter wrote a hymn called Sparkling Gems as the Preface to the volume; however, Stamps also wrote one, No. 1 in the volume. While Baxter's is not in the public domain, Stamps's is, so here's my arrangement of his hymn. Hopefully you will enjoy it, and the hymn will rise to the prominence it once held as the title entry of the volume. 1. Sparkling gems of Truth in the Book divine, Safe will guide your feet as they’re guiding mine; In the upward way, To the land of day, Sparkling gems of Truth shine on. 2. Sparkling gems of Light from the Word of God, Lighted up the path that the pilgrim trod; Just the same today, They will light the way, Sparkling gems of Light shine on. 3. Sparkling gems of Hope in the Christian’s breast, Drive away all fear, bringing perfect rest; In a little while, We shall see His smile, Sparkling gems of Hope shine on. Chorus: Gems of Truth and Light and Hope, Coming from above, Fill the earth with love, Gems of Truth and Light and Hope shine on. |
