We thank thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead

Amen. Tune Title: FIELD

Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Zion beams with light! 2 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! 3 To th' eternal Father Loudest anthems raise, To the Son, and Spirit, Echo songs of praise, To the Lord of glory, Blessed 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! Amen. Tune Title: FORWARD

Amen. Tune Title: TON-Y-BOTEL

Up! it is Jehovah's rally; God's own arm hath need of thine. Worlds are charging, heaven beholding; Thou hast but an hour to fight; Now, the blazoned cross unfolding, On, right onward for the right! 3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never; Consecrated, born again; Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever, O for Christ at least be men! O let all the soul within you For the truth's sake go abroad! Strike! let every nerve and sinew Tell on ages, tell for God. Amen. Tune Title: BLAENHAFREN
