whene'er we hear that glorious word!
Refrain:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

and through the truth that comes from God,
we all shall then be truly free. [Refrain)]

by kindly words and virtuous life. [Refrain]

The Son of God goes forth to war
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 854 hymnals Topics: Holy Days All Saints Lyrics:
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.
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?
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 train?
A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior'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.

Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the word:
From heav'n he came and sought her
To be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
And for her life he died.
2 Elect from ev'ry nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation,
"One Lord, one faith, one birth!"
One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses
With ev'ry grace endued.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth hath union
With God, the Three-in-One,
And with the saints, communion
With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with thee. Scripture: John 3:5 Used With Tune: AURELIA

as endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see:
Crowns for the valiant, for weary ones rest:
God shall be all, and in all ever blessed.
2 The true Jerusalem holy is there,
whose peaceful duties give joy free from care;
Where disappointment no heart can assail,
where each prayer whispered is heard without fail.
3 Longing for home now let every heart raise
prayers of devotion and anthems of praise;
From streams of sorrow we lift up our eyes,
to the blessed city, our home and our prize.
4 There is a Sabbath of unending light,
joyfully keeping that holy day bright,
We join in chanting the song without cease
with all the saints in that sweet realm of peace. Scripture: Revelation 21:1-6 Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

Let saints on earth in concert sing
Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley; Murray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 177 hymnals Topics: All Saints Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing
With those whose work is done;
For all the servants of our King
In heav'n and earth are one.
2 One family, we dwell in Him,
One Church, above, beneath;
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death.
3 One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.
4 E'en now to their eternal home
There pass some spirits blest;
While others to the margin come,
Waiting their call to rest.
5 Jesus, be Thou our constant Guide
Then, when the word is given,
Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide,
And bring us safe to heaven.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Let saints on earth in concert sing]
