March On, O Soul, with Strength!
Author: George T. Coster Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:27 Lyrics: 1 March on, O soul, with strength!
Like those strong men of old
Who 'gainst enthroned wrong
Stood confident and bold;
Who, thrust in prison or cast to flame,
Still made their glory in Thy name.
2 The sons of fathers we
By whom our faith is taught
To fear no ill, to fight
The holy fight they fought:
Heroic warriors, ne'er from Christ
By any lure or guile enticed.
3 March on, O soul, with strength,
As strong the battle rolls!
'Gainst lies and lusts and wrongs,
Let courage rule our souls:
In keenest strife, Lord, may we stand,
Upheld and strengthened by Thy hand.
4 Not long the conflict: soon
The holy war shall cease,
Faith's warfare ended, won
The home of endless peace!
Look up! the victor's crown at length!
March on, O soul, march on, with strength!
Amen. Topics: Church, The Church Militant; Citizenship; Constancy; Courage; Heritage; Loyalty; Soldiers of Christ; Life in Christ Loyalty and Courage Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT

This World Is Not My Home
Author: Albert E. Brumley Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Refrain First Line: O Lord, you know I have no friend like you Lyrics: 1 This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue;
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Chorus:
O Lord, you know I have no friend like you,
If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
2 They're all expecting me, and that's one thing I know,
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go;
I know He'll take me thro' tho' I am weak and poor,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. [Chorus]
3 I have a loving Savior up in glory-land,
I don't expect to stop until I with Him stand,
He's waiting now for me in heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. [Chorus]
4 Just up in glory-land we'll live eternally,
The saints on every hand are shouting victory,
Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. [Chorus]

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16 Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty.
Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies;
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;
sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on, till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
felt in the days when hope unborn had died.
Yet, with a steady beat, have not our weary feet
come to the place for which our parents sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered;
we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
thou who hast by thy might led us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee;
lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee;
shadowed beneath thy hand may we forever stand,
true to our God, true to our native land.

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
Author: Cecil Spring-Rice, 1859-1919 Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:14-16 Lyrics: 1 I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
2 And there's another country I've heard of long ago,
most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
we may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. Topics: National Used With Tune: THAXTED
