To the soldiers of the King;
As an ensign fair we lift it up to-day,
While as ransomed ones we sing.
Chorus:
Marching on, marching on,
For Christ count ev'rything but loss!
And to crown Him King, we’ll toil and sing,
’Neath the banner of the cross!
2 Though the foe may rage and gather as the flood,
Let the standard be displayed;
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord,
For the truth be not dismayed! [Chorus]
3 Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell,
Make the glorious tidings known;
Of the crimson banner now the story tell,
While the Lord shall claim His own! [Chorus]
4 When the glory dawns - ’tis drawing very near -
It is hast'ning day by day -
Then before our King the foe shall disappear,
And the cross the world shall sway! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [There's a royal banner given for display]

From His lighthouse evermore,
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.
Chorus:
Let the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.
2 Dark the night of sin has settled,
Loud the angry billows roar;
Eager eyes are watching, longing,
For the lights along the shore. [Chorus]
3 Trim your feeble lamp, my brother
Some poor sailor tempest tost,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Brightly beams our Father's mercy]

The Son of God Goes Forth to War
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Appears in 835 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Activity and Zeal 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?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears His cross below,
He follows in His train.
2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.
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?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame:
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their turn?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain;
O God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.
Amen. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS, NEW

Roll round with the year,
And never stand still till the Master appear,

"I have fought my way thro':
I have finished the work thou didst give me to do,
I have finished the work thou didst give me to do."
5 O, that each from his Lord may receive the glad word,
"Well and faithfully done!
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne,
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne."
