He who would valiant be
Author: John Bunyan, 1628-88 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #563a (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 He who would valiant be
'Gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy
Follow the Master.
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
2 Who so beset him round
With dismal stories,
Do but themselves confound,
His strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might,
Though he with giants fight;
He will make good his right
To be a pilgrim.
3 Since, Lord, thou dost defend
Us with thy Spirit,
We know we at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then fancies flee away!
I'll fear not what men say,
I'll labor night and day
To be a pilgrim.

Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #564a (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through his eternal Son;
2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in his mighty power;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
3 Stand then, in his great might,
With all his strength endued;
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God.
4 To keep your armor bright
Attend with constant care,
Still walking in your Captain's sight,
And watching unto prayer.
5 From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle and fight and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day;
6 That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.

Forward! be our watch-word
Author: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #565 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword,
Steps and voices joined;
Seek the things before us,
Not a look behind;
Burns the fiery pillar
At our army's head;
Who shall dream of shrinking,
By our Captain led?
Forward through the desert,
Through the toil and fight;
Jordan flows before us,
Sion beams with light.
2 Glories upon glories
Hath our God prepared,
By the souls that love Him
One day to be shared;
Eye hath not beheld them,
Ear hath never heard;
Nor of these hath uttered
Thought or speech a word.
Forward, marching eastward
Where the heaven is bright,
Till the veil be lifted,
Till our faith be sight.
3 Far o'er yon horizon
Rise the city towers;
Where our God abideth,
That fair home is ours:
Flash the streets with jasper,
Shine the gates with gold;
Flows the gladdening river,
Shedding joys untold:
Thither, onward thither,
In the Spirit's might;
Pilgrims, to your country,
Forward into light!
4 To the Father's glory
Loudest anthems raise;
To the Son and Spirit
Echo songs of praise;
To the Lord almighty,
Blessèd Three in One,
Be by men and angels
Endless honor done.
Weak are earthly praises,
Dull the songs of night;
Forward into triumph
Forward into light!
Languages: English Tune Title: FORWARD (SMART)

Thine is the glory
Author: Richard Birch Hoyle, 1875-1939; Edmond Budry, 1854-1932 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #566 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o’er death hast won.
Angels in bright raiment
Rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave clothes
Where thy body lay.
Refrain:
Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o’er death hast won. A-men.
2 Lo! Jesus meets thee,
Risen from the tomb!
Lovingly he greets thee,
Scatters fear and gloom;
Let his Church with gladness
Hymns of triumph sing,
For her Lord now liveth;
Death hath lost its sting. [Refrain]
3 No more we doubt thee,
Glorious Prince of Life;
Life is nought without thee;
Aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conquerors,
Through thy deathless love;
Bring us safe through Jordan
To thy home above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: JUDAS MACCABAEUS
Thine is the glory
All hail, our glorious Saviour!

To battle for the right,
Arise and don your armor,
Put the foe to flight!
We’ve given our allegiance
To serve without surcease
The mighty Lord of armies
And gentle Prince of Peace.
Refrain:
All hail, our glorious Saviour!
We march where thou hast trod,
To seek thy house of triumph,
The city of our God.
2 Then 'onward' be the war-cry;
And onward still, so long
As we have self to conquer,
Souls to cheer with song.
Let sound the martial music,
Ring out the bugle call
To rally for the conflict
Our people one and all. [Refrain]
3 We proudly bear as banner
A cross within the heart,
To show that we have chosen
Christ, the better part.
Then joy and peace and comfort
Shall blossom as a rose,
Until our earthly blessings
The worth of heaven disclose. [Refrain]

If thou but suffer God to guide thee
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Georg Neumark, 1621 - 81 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #568 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in him through all thy ways,
He'll give thee strength, what e'er betide thee,
And bear thee through the evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the rock that nought can move.
2 What can these anxious cares avail thee,
These never-ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help, if thou bewail thee,
O'er each dark moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
The heavier for our bitterness.
3 Only be still, and await his leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er your Father's pleasure
And all discerning love have sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To him who chose us for his own.
4 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving;
In all thy labor faithful be,
And trust his word; though undeserving,
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee:
God never will forsake in need
The soul that trusts in him indeed. Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK (WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT)
If thou but suffer God to guide thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Author: Sarah Flower Adams, 1805 - 48 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #577 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee,
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
2 Though like a wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
3 Then let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
4 Then with my waking thoughts,
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
5 Or, if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY
Nearer, my God, to thee
