Author: Henry Kirke White (1785-1806) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #755 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 Oft in danger, oft in woe,
onward, Christians, onward go;
bear the toil, maintain the strife,
strengthened with the bread of life.
2 Onward, Christians, onward go,
join the war, and face the foe;
will ye flee in danger's hour?
Know ye not your Captain's power?
3 Let not sorrow dim your eye;
soon shall every tear be dry:
let not fears your course impede;
great your strength, if great your need.
4 Let your drooping hearts be glad;
march in heavenly armour clad;
fight, nor think the battle long:
soon shall victory wake your song.
5 Onward then in battle move;
more than conquerors ye shall prove:
though opposed by many a foe,
Christian soldiers, onward go. Topics: Lent; Commitment; Conflict; Courage; Proper 23 Year C; Proper 7 Year B; The Third Sunday of Lent Year C; Victory Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
