Eternal Father, Thou hast said
Author: Dr. R. Palmer, 1808-1887 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of Christ (See Missions) Progress and triumph of ; Missions (See also Kingdom of Christ) Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, Thou hast said,
That Christ all glory shall obtain;
That He who once a sufferer bled
Shall o'er the world a conqueror reign.
2 We wait Thy triumph, Saviour King;
Long ages have prepared Thy way;
Now all abroad Thy banner fling,
Set time's great battle in array.
3 Thy hosts are mustered to the field;
"The Cross! the Cross!" the battle-call:
The old grim towers of darkness yield,
And soon shall totter to their fall.
4 On mountain-tops the watch-fires glow,
Where scattered wide the watchmen stand;
Voice echoes voice, and onward flow
The joyous shouts from land to land.
5 O fill Thy Church with faith and power!
Bid her long night of weeping cease;
To groaning nations haste the hour
Of life and freedom, light and peace.
6 Come, Spirit, make Thy wonders known,
Fulfil the Father's high decree;
Then earth, the might of hell o'erthrown,
Shall keep her last great jubilee. Used With Tune: WALTON

And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.

Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.

Higher than the heights above;
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.

When the work of grace is done;
Partner of My throne shalt be;
Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?"

That my love is cold and faint;
Yet I love Thee and adore,
O for grace to love Thee more!

Thy scepter and Thy sword,
Thy reign of grace, I sing;

In willing bonds before Thy feet. Used With Tune: CHRISTCHURCH

We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise, which can never fail.

With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before!

Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.

Through the countless ages, unto Christ the King.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before!
