The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Bishop R. Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #507b (1894) 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 called 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 mocked the cross and flame. 6 They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed 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 arrayed. 8 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. Topics: Processional; Lay Helpers; Consecration; Following Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [The Son of God goes forth to war]

The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Sing Joyfully #515 (1989) 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 heav'n Through peril, toil, and pain; O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train! Amen.
