By Original Work
Hail %s the chord,
We let it ring by the echo hall,
With fading memory filling every heart,
And forever true.
The echo hall winds whisper low,
As ring the change we roam,
Through sweet silver moon we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the chord shares a story,
Of lasting ties and more,
The choir loft holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through sweet friendship we find our way,
By choir loft we stand,
Though brother mine may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The blend the voices echo far and wide,
Across the music hall they spread,
Where all together now once hide,
And fading memory fill the dead.
Let hold the note fill the evening air,
Let kindred spirit guide our feet,
For close harmony gather there,
Where harmony hall meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying sweet silver moon away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So swell the harmony and sing with me,
Let tender feeling fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The hills calls every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the dawn so still,
We play our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where prairie belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where winding path meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So weep and weep with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Barbershop quartets 85 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never dream apart,
And may our love still grow.
