Brightly gleams our banner

Author: Thomas J. Potter Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 413 hymnals Lyrics: Brightly gleams our banner, Pointing to the sky, Waving wanderers onward To their home on high. 488 Journeying o'er the desert, Gladly thus we pray, And with hearts united Take our heavenward way. Brightly gleams our banner, Pointing to the sky, Waving wanderers onward To their home on high. Jesus, Lord and Master, At thy sacred feet, Here with hearts rejoicing See thy children meet: Often have we left thee, Often gone astray; Keep us, mighty Savior, In the narrow way. All our days direct us In the way we go; Lead us on victorious Over every foe: Bid thine angels shield us When the storm clouds lower, Pardon, Lord, and save us In the last dread hour. Then with saints and angels May we join above, Offering prayers and praises At thy throne of love. When the toil is over, Then comes rest and peace, Jesus in his beauty! Songs that never cease! Amen.

Forward! be our watch-word

Author: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind; Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Sion beams with light. 2 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight. 3 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers; Where our God abideth, That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river, Shedding joys untold: Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might; Pilgrims, to your country, Forward into light! 4 To the Father's glory Loudest anthems raise; To the Son and Spirit Echo songs of praise; To the Lord almighty, Blessèd Three in One, Be by men and angels Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises, Dull the songs of night; Forward into triumph Forward into light!

Jesus, King of glory, Throned above the sky, Jesus, tender Savior, Hear thy children cry. On this day of gladness, Bending low the knee In thine earthly temple, Lord, we worship thee; Celebrate thy goodness, Mercy, grace, and truth, All thy loving guidance Of our heedless youth. Jesus, King of glory, Throned above the sky, Jesus, tender Savior, Hear our grateful cry. For the little children Who have come to thee; For the glad, bright spirits Who thy glory see; For the loved ones resting In thy dear embrace; For the pure and holy Who behold thy face, Jesus, King of glory, Throned above the sky, Jesus, tender Savior, Hear our grateful cry. For thy faithful servants Who have entered in; For thy fearless soldiers Who have conquered sin; 480 For the countless legions Who have followed thee, Heedless of the danger, On to victory, Jesus, King of glory, Throned above the sky, Jesus, tender Savior, Hear our grateful cry. When the shadows lengthen, Show us, Lord, thy way; Through the darkness lead us To the heavenly day. When our course is finished, Ended all the strife, Grant us with the faithful Palms and crowns of life. Jesus, King of glory, Throned above the sky, Jesus, tender Savior, Hear thy children cry. Amen.
