Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #419 (1866) Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: Not with the flashing steel Lyrics: Not with the flashing steel, Not with the cannon’s peal, Or stir of drum; But in the bonds of love, Our white flag floats above; Her emblem is the dove;— ’Tis thus we come. The laws of Christian light,— These are our weapons bright, Our mighty shield; Christ is our leader high; And the broad plains which lie Beneath the blessed sky, Our battle-field. What is that great intent On which each heart is bent, Our hosts among? It is that hate may die, That war’s red curse may fly, And war’s high praise for aye No more be sung. On, then, in God’s great name! Let each pure spirit’s flame Burn bright and clear; Stand firmly in your lot, Cry ye aloud, doubt not, Be every fear forgot; Christ leads us here! So shall earth’s distant lands, In happy, holy bands, One brotherhood, Together rise and sing, Gifts to one altar bring, And heaven’s Eternal King Pronounce it good. Languages: English
