The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #460 (1980) Topics: Warfare, Christian; Warfare, Christian 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. Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Languages: English Tune Title: [The Son of God goes forth to war]

By Thy love constraining, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are Thine. 3 Jesus, Thou hast bought us, Not with gold or gem, But with Thine own life blood, For Thy diadem. With Thy blessing filling Each who comes to Thee, Thou hast made us willing, Thou hast made us free. By Thy grand redemption, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are Thine. 4 Fierce may be the conflict, Strong may be the foe, But the King’s own army None can overthrow.

We are soldiers of Christ, who is mighty to save

What joy to be crowned and be pure evermore, in the peace of our own fatherland. Languages: English Tune Title: MILITES

Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross

Author: R. F. Cottrell Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #622 (1886) Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross; The moment soon will come When you shall lay your armor off, And reach your blissful home. The pearly gates will wide unfold Before our conquering King, And entering hosts, with harps of gold, Triumphantly shall sing. 2 What though the warfare be severe, And enemies be strong; And painful watchings, dark and drear, The tedious night prolong; Our Captain passed this way before, And felt each cruel sting: Courage! the strife will soon be o'er, And then with joy we'll sing. 3 Many a soldier in this strife, Has nobly bled and died, Counting it joy to give his life For Him once crucified. And when our Captain comes again, Those from the dead he'll bring; And they with us, and we with them, Triumphantly will sing. 4 O, 'twill be joy, but to behold That glad immortal throng Enter and walk the streets of gold, And sing the victor's song! To see that host and hear that song, Must joy ecstatic bring; But those who will may join that throng, With them you too may sing. Tune Title: COURAGE

When we pass through yonder river

Though we toil and strive at present, Let us not repine at this: Toil and pain and conflict past, All endear repose at last. 3 When we gain the heavenly regions, When we touch the heavenly shore,-- Blessed thought!--no hostile legions Can alarm or trouble more: Far beyond the reach of foes, We shall dwell in sweet repose. 4 Oh, that hope! how bright, how glorious! 'Tis his people's blessed reward; In the Saviour's strength victorious, They at length behold their Lord: In his kingdom they shall rest, In his love be fully blest.
