March on, my soul, with strength
Author: William Wright, 1859-1924 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 March on, my soul, with strength,
march forward, void of fear;
He who has led will lead,
through each succeeding year;
and as you journey on your way,
His hand shall hold you day by day.
2 March on, my soul, with strength,
in ease you dare not dwell;
high duty calls you forth;
then up, and quit you well!
Take up your cross, take up your sword,
and fight the battles of your Lord!
3 March on, my soul, with strength,
with strength, but not your own;
the conquest you shall gain,
through Christ your Lord alone;
His grace shall nerve your feeble arm,
His love preserve you safe from harm.
4 March on, my soul, with strength,
from strength to strength march on;
warfare shall end at length,
all foes be overthrown.
Then, O my soul, if faithful now,
the crown of life awaits your brow. Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Used With Tune: CHRISTCHURCH

W. H. Havergal
1793 - 1870 Composer of "ST. JOHN" in The Y.M.C.A. Hymnal Havergal, William Henry, M.A, son of William Havergal, was born at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, 1793, and was educated at St. Edmund's Hall, Oxford (B.A. 1815, M.A. 1819). On taking Holy Orders he became in 1829 Rector of Astley, Worcestershire; in 1842, Rector of St. Nicholas, Worcester; and in 1860, Rector of Shareshill, near Wolverhampton. He was also Hon.
