The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #421 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Activity and Zeal 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 heaven Through peril, toil, and pain; O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS, NEW

Nothing has half thy work to do, Yet nothing's half so dull. 2 We, for whose sake all nature stands, And stars their courses move; We, for whose guard the angel bands Come flying from above; 3 We, for whom God the Son came down, And labor'd for our good, How careless to secure that crown He purchased with His blood. 4 Lord, shall we lie so sluggish still, And never act our parts? Come, holy Dove, from th'heavenly hill, Renew and warm our hearts. Languages: English

Master, No Offering

Author: Edwin P. Parker, 1836-1925 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #449 (1957) Topics: Activity Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering, Costly and sweet, May we, like Magdalene, Lay at Thy feet; Yet may love's incense rise, Sweeter than sacrifice, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 2 Daily our lives would show Weakness made strong, Toilsome and gloomy ways Brightened with song; Some deeds of kindness done, Some souls by patience won, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to thee. 3 Some word of hope for hearts Burdened with fears, Some balm of peace for eyes Blinded with tears: Some dews of mercy shed, Some wayward footstep led, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord, Till eventide Closes the day of life, May we abide! And when earth's labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE'S OFFERING

Work till the last beam fadeth, Fadeth to shine no more; Work, while the night is dark'ning, When man's work is o'er. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WORK SONG
