The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: R. Heber Appears in 857 hymnals Topics: General Processionals; General Processionals 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? The Son of God, goes forth to war. 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 pray'd 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 man; 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 heav'n Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train.
