Lead on, O King eternal

Author: Ernest Warburton Shurtleff, 1862 - 1917 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #550 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King eternal, The day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home: Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong, And now, O King eternal, We lift our battle-song. 2 Lead on, O King eternal, Till sin's fierce war shall cease, And holiness shall whisper The sweet Amen of peace; For not with swords loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums, But deeds of love and mercy, The heavenly kingdom comes. A-men. 3 Lead on, O King eternal: We follow, not with fears, For gladness breaks like morning Where'er thy face appears: Thy Cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light; The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might. Amen.

Author: George Duffield, 1818 - 88 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #551a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the Cross, Lift high his royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From victory unto victory His army shall he lead, Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict In this his glorious day: Ye that are men, now serve him Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in his strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next the victor's song: To him that overcometh A crown of life shall be; He with the King of Glory Shall reign eternally.

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #553 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day his clear voice soundeth, Saying, 'Christian, follow me!' 2 As of St. Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, 'Christian, love me more.' A-men. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these.' 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, Give our hearts to thine obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Amen.

Am I a soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #554 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the Cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own his cause Or blush to speak his Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? A-men. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain world a friend to grace To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign-- Increase my courage, Lord-- I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. Amen.

Rise, ye children of salvation

Ground we hold, whereon of old Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of his word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great Name; we cannot yield. 4 When his servants stand before him Each receiving his reward, When his saints in light adore him, Giving glory to the Lord; 'Victory!' our song shall be Like the thunder of the sea.

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Hymnal: SBHC1958 #558 (1958) Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in his excellent word! What more can he say than to you he hath said, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? 2 'Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 'When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply: The flames shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 4 'E'en down to old age all my people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love, And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne. 5 'The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!
