The Son of God goes forth to war

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 837 hymnals 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? 2 Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient, bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 3 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky, And call'd on Him to save. 4 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. 5 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the spirit came: Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mock'd the cross and flame. 6 They met the tyrant's brandish'd steel, The lion's gory mane, They bow'd their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 7 A noble army--men and boys, The matron and the maid; Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light array'd. 8 They climb'd the steep ascent to heaven Through peril, toil and pain; O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Amen. Topics: Apostles and Saints; Festivals Used With Tune: LAMBETH

O for a Shout of Sacred Joy

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 207 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O for a shout of sacred joy To God the sov’reign King! Let ev’ry land their tongues employ, And hymns of triumph sing. 2. Jesus our God ascends on high, His heav’nly guards around Attend Him rising through the sky, With trumpets’ joyful sound. 3. While angels shout and praise their King, Let mortals learn their strains; Let all the earth His honors sing; O’er all the earth He reigns. 4. Rehearse His praise with awe profound, Let knowledge lead the song, Nor mock Him with a solemn sound Upon a thoughtless tongue. 5. In Israel stood His ancient throne, He loved that chosen race; But now He calls the world His own, And heathens taste His grace. 6. The British islands are the Lord’s, There Abraham’s God is known; While powers and princes, shields and swords, Submit before His throne.

Come, Let Us Lift Our Voices High

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us lift our voices high, High as our joys arise, And join the songs above the sky, Where pleasure never dies. 2 Jesus, the God that fought and bled, And conquered when He fell; That rose, and at His chariot wheels Dragged all the powers of hell. 3 Jesus, our God, invites us here To this triumphal feast, And brings immortal blessings down For each redeemed guest. 4 The Lord, how glorious is His face! How kind His smiles appear! And oh! what melting words He says To every humble ear. “For you, the children of My love, It was for you I died; Behold My hands, behold My feet, And look into My side! “These are the wounds for you I bore, The tokens of My pains, When I came down to free your souls From misery and chains. “Justice unsheathed its fiery sword, And plunged it in My heart; Infinite pangs for you I bore, And most tormenting smart. “When hell, and all its spiteful powers, Stood dreadful in My way, To rescue those dear lives of yours, I gave My own away. 5 “But while I bled, and groaned, and died, I ruined Satan’s throne; High on My cross I hung, and spied The monster tumbling down. 6 Now you must triumph at My feast, And taste My flesh, My blood, And live eternal ages blest, For ’tis immortal food. 7 Victorious God! what can we pay For favors so divine? We would devote our hearts away To be for ever Thine. 8 We give Thee, Lord, our highest praise, The tribute of our tongues; But themes so infinite as these Exceed our noblest songs.
