Lead on, O King eternal

Author: Ernest Warburton Shurtleff, 1862 - 1917 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #550 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King eternal, The day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home: Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong, And now, O King eternal, We lift our battle-song. 2 Lead on, O King eternal, Till sin's fierce war shall cease, And holiness shall whisper The sweet Amen of peace; For not with swords loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums, But deeds of love and mercy, The heavenly kingdom comes. A-men. 3 Lead on, O King eternal: We follow, not with fears, For gladness breaks like morning Where'er thy face appears: Thy Cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light; The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #562 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service 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? A-men. 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 train? 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 heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW

Forward! be our watch-word

Author: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #565 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service 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! Languages: English Tune Title: FORWARD (SMART)
