THIS HYMN AND ITS LYRICS IS FOR ALL THE GREAT AND FAMOUS MEN WHO WERE ABUSED BY DICTATORS IN OUR COUNTRY...THEY REST RESTING PEACEFULLY NOW 1 Now praise we great and famous men, The fathers named in story; And praise the Lord who now as then Reveals in man His glory. 2 Praise we the wise and brave and strong, Who graced their generation; Who helped the right, and fought the wrong, And made our folk a nation. 3 Praise we the great of heart and mind, The singers sweetly gifted, Whose music like a mighty wind The souls of men uplifted. 4 Praise we the peaceful men of skill Who builded homes of beauty, And, rich in art, made richer still The brotherhood of duty. 5 So praise we great and famous men, The fathers, named in story; And praise the Lord who now as then Reveals in man His glory. Amen.
Very to hear from you! As you saw we sang it in Church last Sunday as the Storm is raging in the Caribbean. And we prayed for the people living in the path of the Storm.
