TexasScouter 10 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I am looking for the music to the Scout Hymn, On My Honor. I had found this previously online...words and music...but now I can''t find it again. Does anyone have any idea where this might be found? Link to post Share on other sites
scottteng 11 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Philmont Hymn Silver on the sage, Starlit skies above, Aspen covered hills, Country that I love. Philmont here''s to thee, Scouting Paradise, Out in God''s country, tonight Wind in whispering pines, Eagles soaring high, Purple mountains rise, Against an azure sky. Philmont here''s to thee, Scouting Paradise, Out in God''s country Tonight. This one ? MP3 here: http://www.troop288.org/songs/philmonthymn.mp3 Link to post Share on other sites
emb021 16 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 The Scout Hymn Ralph Reader Now as I start upon my chosen way, In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play; Grant as I promise, courage new for me To be the best, the best that I can be. Help me to keep my honor shining bright, May I be loyal in the hardest fight; Let me be able for my task and then To earn a place among my fellow men. Open mine eyes to see things as I should, That I may do my daily turn of good; Let me be ready, waiting for each need To keep me clean in thought and word and deed. So as I journey on my chosen way, In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play; Grant as I promise, courage new for me To be the best, the best that I can be. May the Great Master of All Scouts be with us until we meet again. Link to post Share on other sites

TexasScouter 10 Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Thanks everyone for helping with this. ScoutNut....you get an extra thank you for hitting the nail on the head! Link to post Share on other sites
local1400 10 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Scoutnut has the right one. Our camp staff sung this song at each closing campfire. Try 40 guys hitting the high note and holding it on "righteousness".Edited Part: I listened to the Burl Ives version and can only say that we held (?) out the notes a little longer. During the chorus, done softly, one Scout would repeat the Oath.(This message has been edited by local1400) Link to post Share on other sites
Tex-Mex Dad 10 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have an arrangement of "On My Honor" in 4-part harmony for men's voices, if anyone is interested. Women should be able to sing the top voices without much problem. - Charlie Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 726 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I thought I had it, but it turned out to be "Scout Vespers"...sheet music. Anyone interested, shoot me a PM and I'll .pdf it. Link to post Share on other sites
Tex-Mex Dad 10 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 That's funny, scoutldr, I also have an arrangement of "Scout Vespers" in 4-part harmony...for men's voices of course. I got that one to take w/ me to the '93 Jamboree. Link to post Share on other sites
Narraticong 15 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Way back in the '70s we closed every troop campfire by singing "On My Honor". As a Scout back then I didn't take much in life very serious. But that song always meant something to me. Today as a Scoutmaster, it means even more. Thanks so much for jogging my memory of the old days! Ken Link to post Share on other sites
SctDad 10 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 As soon as I read your post I thought back to when I was a staff member and we would sing that at the end ouf our campfires. Of course I could not remember al of the words. I will have to check out those links later. Link to post Share on other sites
ilduncans 10 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 with apologies for resurrecting such an old thread ... http://www.scouting.org/relationships/05-961/onmyhonor.pdf is now a broken link, and the sheet music appears to have vanished off the national website. On my Honor doesn't even appear in the list of recommended hymns in their Scout Sunday resources any more. Does someone have this PDF that could be shared, or a location to find it online, or any source for the sheet music (preferably with 4-part harmony)? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
ScoutNut 147 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Here you go - sheet music with 4 part harmony - http://www.bristoltroop3.com/paper/Scout%20is%20Reverent/scout%20is%20reverent.pdf Link to post Share on other sites
BartHumphries 10 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 That website seems to have gone down as well. Anyone happen to have a copy that they could send me or know another website that it's been uploaded to? Link to post Share on other sites
