Forward through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 83 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11 Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits at the call divine;
Gifts in differing measure, hearts of one accord,
manifold the service, one the sure reward.
Refrain:
Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,
Move the faithful spirits at the call divine.
2 Wide grows God's dominion,
reign of love and peace;
for it we must labor, till all strivings cease.
Prophets have proclaimed it, teachers testified,
poets sung its glory, martyrs for it died. [Refrain]
3 Not alone we conquer, not alone we fall;
in each loss or triumph, lose or triumph all.
Bound by God's far purpose in one living whole,
move we on together to the shining goal. [Refrain]

Faith Begins by Letting Go
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11 Lyrics: 1 Faith begins by letting go,
giving up what had seemed sure,
taking risks and pressing on,
though the way feels less secure:
pilgrimage both right and odd,
trusting all our life to God.
2 Faith endures by holding on,
keeping memory’s roots alive
so that hope may bear its fruit;
promise-fed, our souls will thrive,
not through merit we possess
but by God’s great faithfulness.
3 Faith matures by reaching out,
stretching minds, enlarging hearts,
sharing struggles, living prayer,
binding up the broken parts;
till we find the commonplace
ripe with witness to God’s grace.

Lord, What a Cloud of Witnesses
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11, 12:1 Lyrics: Lord, what a cloud of witnesses
Surrounds us as we work and pray!
Their faithful, loving service is
An inspiration every day.
We live in towns that others made;
We harvest what we did not sow—
And others sweated, labored, prayed
To build Christ’s church in which we grow.
Your Spirit gives us memory;
Now give your church clear vision, too.
Reformed, reforming, may we be
A church that seeks to follow you.

O for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 686 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 Lord, give me such a faith as this,
And then whate’er may come,
I’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA
