Text: | Forward Through the Ages |
Author: | Frederick L. Hosmer |
Tune: | [Forward thro' the ages] |
Composer: | Arthur S. Sullivan |
1 Forward thro' the ages,
In unbroken line,
Move the faithful spirits,
At the call divine;
Gifts in diff'ring measure,
Hearts of one accord,
Manifold the service,
One the sure reward.
Refrain:
Forward thro' the ages,
In unbroken line,
Move the faithful spirits
At the call divine.
2 Wider grows the kingdom,
Reign of love and light;
For it we must labor,
Till our faith is sight;
Prophets have proclaimed it,
Martyrs testified,
Poets sung its glory,
Heroes 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]
