Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #510 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 11:36-37 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?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile 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. Topics: Conflict Spiritual; Conflict & Victory Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

Jerusalem the Golden
Author: Bernard of Cluny (12th cent.); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #278 (1998) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Hebrews 11:29-40, 12:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
with milk and honey blessed,
beneath thy contemplation
sink heart and voice oppressed.
I know not, oh, I know not,
what joys await us there;
what radiancy of glory,
what bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
all jubilant with song,
and bright with many an angel,
and all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,
the daylight is serene;
the pastures of the blessed
are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David,
and there, from care released,
the shout of them that triumph,
the song of them that feast;
and they who with their Leader
have conquered in the fight,
forever and forever
are clad in robes of white.
4 O sweet and blessed country,
the home of God's elect;
O dear and future vision,
that eager hearts expect:
even now by faith we see thee,
even here thy walls discern;
to thee our thoughts are kindled;
for thee our spirits yearn. Topics: Communion of Saints; Funeral; Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

with milk and honey blest,
beneath your contemplation
sink heart and voice oppressed;
I know not, O I know not
what joys await me there,
what radiancy of glory,
what bliss beyond compare!
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
all jubilant with song,
and bright with many an angel,
and all the martyr throng;
the Prince is ever in them,
the daylight is serene;
the pastures of the blessed
are decked in gloriuous sheen.
3 There is the throne of David;
and there, from pain released,
the shout of those who triumph,
the song of those who feast;
and they, who with their Leader
have conquered in the fight,
forever and forever
are clad in robes of white.
4 O sweet and blessed country,
the home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country
that eager hearts expect!
In mercy, Jesus, bring us
to that dear land of rest,
you are, with God the Father,
and Spirit, ever blest.

The Son of God Goes Forth to War
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #460 (1980) Scripture: Hebrews 11:33-40 Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar:
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears His cross below,
He follows in His train.
2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on his tongue
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
Who follows in His train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame:
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their turn?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Through peril, toil, and pain;
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train!
Amen. Topics: Warfare, Christian; Warfare, Christian Languages: English Tune Title: [The Son of God goes forth to war]
