Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #402 (1972) Lyrics: 1 Far down the ages now,
Much of her journey done,
The pilgrim church pursues her way,
Until her crown be won.
2 No wider is the gate,
No broader is the way,
No smoother is the ancient path
That leads to life and day.
3 No sweeter is the cup,
Nor less our lot of ill;
'T was tribulation ages since,
'T is tribulation still.
4 No slacker grows the fight,
No feebler is the foe,
Nor less the need of armor tried,
Of shield, and spear, and bow.
5 Thus onward still we press,
Through evil and through good—
Thro' pain, and poverty, and want,
Thro' peril and thro' blood.
6 Still faithful to our God,
And to our Captain true,
We follow where he leads the way;
The Kingdom in our view. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; The Church Earthly (Militant) Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:14 Languages: English Tune Title: BROADWAY
