Am I a soldier of the cross
Anniversary Hymn
Author: Katharine L. Bates Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Our fathers, in the years grown dim Lyrics: 1. Our fathers, in the years grown dim,
reared slowly, wall by wall
A holy dwelling place for Him,
that filleth all in all.
They wrought His house of faith and prayer,
the rainbow round the throne,
A precious temple builded fair
on Christ the Cornerstone.
2. The angel of the golden reed
hath found the measure strait;
He hears the Great Foundation
plead for ampler wall and gate.
The living pillars of the Truth
grown on from morn to morn,
And still the heresy of youth
is age’s creed outworn.
3. But steadfast is their inner shrine
wrought of the heart’s fine gold,
Its hunger and its thirst divine,
with jewels manifold,
Red sard of pain, hope’s emerald gleam,
white peace, no glory missed
Of righteous life and saintly dream,
jasper to amethyst.
4. Spirit of truth, forbid that we
who now God’s temple are
And keep the faith with minds more free,
our father’s fabric mar.
Better than thoughts the stars that search
is self still sacrificed,
For only love can build the church
whose cornerstone is Christ. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

O God, Thy pow'r is wonderful

O God, Thy pow'r is wonderful
O where is he that trod the sea
Author: Thomas T. Lynch Appears in 59 hymnals Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS NEW
O where is he that trod the sea
Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass,
Ye bars of iron, yield,
And let the King of Glory pass;
The cross is in the field:
That banner, brighter than the star
That leads the train of night,
Shines on their march, and guides from far
His servants to the fight.
2 A holy war those servants wage;
Mysteriously at strife,
The pow'rs of heav'n and hell engage
For more than death of life.
Ye armies of the living God,
His sacramental host,
Where hallowed footsteps never trod
Take your appointed post:
3 Though few and small and weak your bands,
Strong in your Captain's strength
Go to the conquest of all lands;
All must be his at length.
Those spoils at his victorious feet
You shall rejoice to lay,
And lay yourselves, as trophies meet,
In his great judgment-day.
4 O fear not, faint nor, halt not now;
In Jesus' Name be strong;
To him shall all the nations bow,
And sing with you this song:
"Uplifted are the gates of brass,
The bars of iron yield;
Behold the King of Glory pass;
The cross has won the field."
Amen. Topics: Christian warfare; The Church Missions; Gospel Triumph of; Missions Scripture: Isaiah 45:2 Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS NEW

The Son of God Goes Forth for Peace
Author: Ernest Bourner Allen Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The Son of God goes forth for Peace,
Our Father's love to show;
From war and woe He brings release,
O, who with Him will go?
He strikes the fetters from the slave,
Man's mind and heart makes free;
And sends His messengers to save
O'er ev'ry land and sea!
2. The Son of God goes forth for Peace,
That men like brothers live,
And all desire the other's good,
And other's sin forgive.
He turns our spears to pruning hooks,
Our swords to ploughshares warm,
And war no more its death-blast brings,
Nor men their brothers harm!
3. The Son of God goes forth for Peace,
Nor lands nor pow'r to gain;
He seeks to serve, to love, to lift,—
Who follows in His train?
A glorious band, in ev'ry age,
In spite of scorn and pain,
True sons of God, His peace have made;
Who follows in their train?
4. Now let the world to Peace be won,
And ev'ry hatred slain;
Let force and greed be overcome
And love supreme remain!
Let justice rule in all the earth,
And mercy while we live,
Lest we—forgiven much—forget
Our brother to forgive!
5. We send our love to ev'ry land—
True neighbors would we be;
And pray God's Peace to reign in them,
Where'er their homeland be!
O God, to us may grace be giv'n,
Who bear the dear Christ's name,
To live at peace with ev'ry man,
And thus our Christ acclaim! Topics: World Friendship and Peace Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS
