Forward, Through the Ages
Author: J. H. D. Hymnal: The Service of Praise #107 (1900) First Line: Forward, forward, through the ages Lyrics: 1 Forward, forward, thro’ the ages,
See God’s pilgrims true,
Pressing onward, striving upward,
Till their goal they view;
Faithful souls enduring hardness
With heroic might,
Patient souls with martyr courage
Suff’ring for the right.
2 See them gath’ring thro’ the ages,
Living e’en today,
Men and women bravely toiling
Up the narrow way;
Who will join these pilgrim warriors,
Noblest earth has seen,
Who will follow in the footprints
Where the Christ has been?
3 Lo! For us he hath ascended,
Captain of our faith,
And to each true pilgrim soldier,
“Thou art mine,” he saith;
And his voice strikes deepest music
In the toil and strife,
And his words are living manna
For each need of life. Languages: English Tune Title: [Forward, forward, through the ages]

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #114 (1993) Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine:
gifts in differing measure,
hearts of one accord,
manifold the service,
one the sure reward.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
2 Wider grows the vision,
realm 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.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
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.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
