The Son of God Goes Forth to War
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #460 (1980) Scripture: Hebrews 11:33-40 Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar:
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears His cross below,
He follows in His train.
2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on his tongue
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
Who follows in His train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame:
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their turn?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Through peril, toil, and pain;
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train!
Amen. Topics: Warfare, Christian; Warfare, Christian Languages: English Tune Title: [The Son of God goes forth to war]

In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword:
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!

We will be true to thee till death.

Were still in heart and conscience free:
How sweet would be their children's fate,
If they like them could die for thee!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

To win all nations unto thee,
And thro' the truth that comes from God,
Mankind shall then be truly free.

We will be true to thee till death.

Both friend and foe in all our strife:
And preach thee too as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
