Planners for the services, ceremonies and observances of Veterans Day 2022 now have a new resource to consider: a military hymn entitled, “Ever Faithful to the Call.”
Army Korean & Vietnam Combat Engineer, and Composer Tom Lough turned to chaplains, veterans, family members, widows, and church music professionals for their ideas and suggestions in the hymn’s development. Field testing of the hymn in late 2021 provided additional feedback for the final revisions.
The four-verse hymn was sung recently as part of an organ recital in the West Point Cadet Chapel at the United States Military Academy. Craig Williams, the chapel organist, said, “I feel this hymn has the potential for widespread use in military and civilian settings for Veterans Day and other occasions as well.” “Ever Faithful to the Call” is a hymn that honors the service of our soldiers as they do whatever is necessary to keep us free. Please consider this hymn for use in ceremonies, events, and services for Veterans Day 2022. Share this information with interested others as well.
