Theirs the scars of battle, when the fight was on; Theirs the shout of triumph, now the day is won.

Theirs the wedding banquet, for refreshment spread; Like great seas the chorus, by their voices sped. [Refrain] 4 To the Captain’s roll call, all make answer, "Here!" "Blessèd of My Father, in His name draw near." This the purchased kingdom, this the victor song; The eternal chorus; pour its tide along.

Though Troubles Assail Us

Author: John Newton Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 431 hymnals First Line: Though troubles assail us and dangers affright Lyrics: 1. Though troubles assail us and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail us and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, The Lord will provide. 2. The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed; From them let us learn to trust God for our bread. His saints what is fitting shall ne’er be denied So long as ’tis written, The Lord will provide. 3. We all may, like ships, by tempest be tossed On perilous deeps, but can not be lost; Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide, Yet Scripture engages, The Lord will provide. 4. His call we obey, like Abraham of old: We know not the way, but faith makes bold; For though we are strangers, we have a sure guide, And trust in all dangers, The Lord will provide. 5. When Satan assails us to stop up our path, And courage all fails us, we triumph by faith. He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, This heart cheering promise, The Lord will provide. 6. He tells us we’re weak, our hope is in vain, The good that we seek we never shall obtain, But when such suggestions, our graces have tried, This answers all questions, The Lord will provide. 7. No strength of our own and no goodness we claim; Yet, since we have known of the Savior’s great name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide: The Lord is our power, The Lord will provide. 8. When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of His grace shall comfort us through, Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, The Lord will provide.

By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 607 hymnals Lyrics: 1. By cool Siloam’s shady rill How fair the lily grows! How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, Of Sharon’s dewy rose! 2. Lo! such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod, Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3. By cool Siloam’s shady rill The lily must decay; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away. 4. And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man’s maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow’s power And stormy passion’s rage. 5. O Thou whose infant feet were found Within Thy Father’s shrine, Whose years with changeless virtue crowned, Were all alike divine. 6. Dependent on Thy bounteous breath, We seek Thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death To keep us still Thine own. Used With Tune: BELMONT Text Sources: Christian Observer, 1812

Beyond the present sin and shame, Wrong’s bitter, cruel, scorching blight, We see the beckoning vision flame, The blessèd kingdom of the right. 4. What though the kingdom long delay, And still with haughty foes must cope? It gives us that for which to pray, A field for toil and faith and hope. 5. Since what we choose is what we are, And what we love we yet shall be, The goal may ever shine afar— The will to win it makes us free. Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

The One Life

Author: Caroline D. Howe Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Thine are the rivers: Thine, O God, the power Lyrics: 1 Thine are the rivers: Thine, O God, the power That bids them bear their waters to the sea; No cloud is mirrored there at morning hour, No wave uplifts its surging anthem free, Until the great command is heard from Thee. 2 Thine are the mountains. To the thunders nigh, Sounding their echo through the length of days, Unawed they stand, like giants towering high, In monumental state to speak Thy praise, Unshaken still, though lightnings are ablaze. 3 Thine are the forests, circling mile on mile, Where labyrinthine paths untrodden wind, Until our souls, all doubts to reconcile, Turn from these widening realms to Thee, to find The mighty purpose of Thy mightier mind. 4 Thine are all worlds, and Thine all realms of space, Whereon the stars mark out their shining course; Whate’er the sunlight clasps in its embrace, Bears the impress of love, whose tender force Kindles the soul and traces out its source. 5 Thine are the heav’ns; the wondrous arch of blue Up which the monarch sun shall proudly climb, And Thine the clouds of gold and purple hue, With planets laughing at the march of time, And shadowing forth Thy mysteries sublime. 6 Thine are our souls! Our beings blend with Thine, Upreaching toward Thee through these longings high, Stamped with Thy seal, and hearing countersign Of that One Life in us, that grows divine, By love illumed, as we to Thee draw nigh.
