Forward! Our Watchword
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: Christ in Song #658 (1908) Topics: Special Occasions Reunion First Line: Forward! be our watchword Refrain First Line: Forward! in the conflict 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?
Refrain:
Forward! in the conflict,
Thro' the toil and fight,
Foes must fall before us,
God will speed the right.
2 Forward out of error,
Leave behind the night;
Forward thro' the darkness,
Forward into light!
Glories upon glories
Hath our God prepared,
By the souls that love Him
One day to be shared! [Refrain]
3 Far o'er yon horizon
Rise the city towers,
Where our God abideth;
That fair home is ours!
Thither, onward thither,
In the Spirit's might,
Lovers of your country,
Forward into light! [Refrain]

Forward! Our Watchword
We Lay Us Down to Sleep
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #686 (1908) Topics: Special Occasions Funeral Hymns First Line: We lay us calmly down to sleep Lyrics: 1 We lay us calmly down to sleep
When friendly night is come, and leave
To God the rest;
Whether we wake to smile or weep,
Or wake no more on time's fair shore,
He knoweth best, He knoweth best.
O Father, us in safety keep!
We lay us down to sleep.
2 As sinks the sun in western skies
When day is done, and twilight dim
Comes silent on,
So fades the world's most luring prize
On eyes that close in deep repose
Till wakes the dawn, Till wakes the dawn.
O Father, us in safety keep!
We lay us down to sleep.
3 Why vex our souls with wearing care?
Why shun the grave, for aching head
So cool and low?
Have we found life so passing fair,
So grand to be, so sweet that we
Should dread to go? Should dread to go?
O Father, us in safety keep!
We lay us down to sleep.
4 Some other hand the task can take,
If so it seemeth best, the task
By us begun;
No work for which we need to wake
In joy or grief, for life so brief,
Beneath the sun, Beneath the sun.
O Father, us in safety keep!
We lay us down to sleep.

My Savior First of All
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Christ in Song #849 (1908) Topics: Special Occasions Funeral Hymns First Line: When my life work is ended, and I cross the swelling tide Refrain First Line: I shall know him, I shall know him Lyrics: 1. When my lifework is ended, and I cross the swelling tide,
When "this mortal puts on immortality;"
I shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side,
And his smile will be the first to welcome me.
Chorus:
I shall know him, I shall know him
As redeemed by his side I shall stand,
I shall know him, I shall know him
By the prints of the nails in his hands.

And the luster of his kindly beaming eye;
How my full heart will praise him for the mercy, love, and grace,
That prepares for me a mansion in the sky. [Chorus]
3. O, the dear ones departed! How the tender mem'ries come,
As the farewell at the river I recall;
In the sweet vales of Eden we shall meet no more to roam,
But I long to see my Saviour first of all. [Chorus]
4. Thro' the gates to the city, in a robe of spotless white,
He will lead me where no tears shall ever fall;
In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight;
But I long to meet my Saviour first of all [Chorus]

The holy joy that angels know,
The golden harp, the song divine,
The spotless robe Faith calls them mine. [Chorus]

The loves ones lost to us below,
The voices hush'd that used to sing,
We'll find them where Christ is King. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Above the clouds that veil the blue]

Soon shall come the Prince of Peace.

Rends the azure sky, in glory descending,
When the saints awake in his own likeness,
I shall be satisfied then.

Burdened with the ceaseless care,
Tell me! is there rest remaining
For the toilers over there? [Chorus]
3. Patient wait God's time for going,
Murmur not though long thy stay,
Ever trusting, ever knowing
Thou shalt dwell with him some day. [Chorus]
4. Born of God, the soul can never
Willing here with sin abide;
Earth is not the glad forever
Where the soul is satisfied. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Soul amid earth sorrows dwelling]
