March On, O Soul, with Strength!
Author: George T. Coster Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #251 (1957) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 March on, O soul, with strength!
Like those strong men of old
Who 'gainst enthroned wrong
Stood confident and bold;
Who, thrust in prison or cast to flame,
Still made their glory in Thy name.
2 The sons of fathers we
By whom our faith is taught
To fear no ill, to fight
The holy fight they fought:
Heroic warriors, ne'er from Christ
By any lure or guile enticed.
3 March on, O soul, with strength,
As strong the battle rolls!
'Gainst lies and lusts and wrongs,
Let courage rule our souls;
In keenest strife, Lord, may we stand,
Upheld and strengthened by Thy hand.
4 Not long the conflict: soon
The holy war shall cease,
Faith's warfare ended, won
The home of endless peace!
Look up! the victor's crown at length!
March on, O soul, march on, with strength!
Amen. Scripture: Daniel 10:19 Tune Title: ARTHUR'S SEAT

Person Name: Unknown Composer of "MILLENNIUM" in Services and Songs In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

John Goss
1800 - 1880 Composer of "ARTHUR'S SEAT" in The Hymnbook John Goss (b. Fareham, Hampshire, England, 1800; d. London, England, 1880). As a boy Goss was a chorister at the Chapel Royal and later sang in the opera chorus of the Covent Garden Theater. He was a professor of music at the Royal Academy of Music (1827-1874) and organist of St. Paul Cathedral, London (1838-1872); in both positions he exerted significant influence on the reform of British cathedral music. Goss published Parochial Psalmody (1826) and Chants, Ancient and Modern (1841); he edited William Mercer's Church Psalter and Hymn Book (1854). With James Turle he published a two-volume collection of anthems and Anglican service music (1854).
