Onward, Christian soldiers
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834 - 1924 Appears in 1,870 hymnals Topics: Ordination Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the Cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ the royal Master
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle
See his banners go!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the Cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2 At the sign of triumph
Satan's legions flee;
On then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise. [Refrain]
3 Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity. [Refrain]
4 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
'Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail. [Refrain]
5 Onward, then, ye faithful;
Join the happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices,
In the triumph-song:
Glory, laud, and honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE
Onward, Christian soldiers
The Church's one foundation
Appears in 905 hymnals Topics: The Church Her Ordinances and Offices Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the word:
From heaven He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One Holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore opprest,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distrest;
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: AURELIA

Christ receiving children
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 489 hymnals Topics: Church Ordinances of First Line: See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand Lyrics: 1 See Israel's gentle Shepherd stands,
With all engaging charms!
Hark! how he calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in his arms!
2 "Permit them to approach," he cries,
"Nor scorn their humble name;
For 'twas to bless such souls as these,
The Lord of angels came."
3 We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands,
And yield them up to thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are thine,--
Thine let our offspring be. Scripture: Matthew 19:14 Used With Tune: AZMON
Christ receiving children
When I survey the wondrous cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,080 hymnals Topics: Ministry Ordination Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down:
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Amen. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: HAMBURG
When I survey the wondrous cross
Shine thou upon us, Lord
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Ministry Ordination Lyrics: 1 Shine thou upon us, Lord,
True Light of men, today,
And through the written Word
Thy very self display,
That so from hearts which burn
With gazing on thy face
Thy little ones may learn
The wonders of thy grace.
2 Breathe thou upon us, Lord,
Thy Spirit's living flame,
That so with one accord
Our lips may tell thy Name.
Give thou the hearing ear,
Fix thou the wand'ring thought,
That those we teach may hear
The great things thou hast wrought.
3 Speak thou for us, O Lord,
In all we say of thee;
According to thy Word
Let all our teaching be,
That so thy lambs may know
Their own true Shepherd's voice,
Where'er he leads them go,
And in his love rejoice.
4 Live thou within us, Lord;
Thy mind and will be ours;
Be thou belov'd, adored,
And served with all our pow'rs,
That so our lives may teach
Thy children what thou art,
And plead, by more than speech,
For thee with ev'ry heart.
Amen. Scripture: Exodus 4:12 Used With Tune: LEONI
