March On, O Soul, with Strength!

Author: George T. Coster Hymnal: The Hymnbook #351 (1955) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Church, The Church Militant Lyrics: 1 March on, O soul, with strength! Like those strong men of old Who 'gainst enthroned wrong Stood confident and bold; Who, thrust in prison or cast to flame, Still made their glory in Thy name. 2 The sons of fathers we By whom our faith is taught To fear no ill, to fight The holy fight they fought: Heroic warriors, ne'er from Christ By any lure or guile enticed. 3 March on, O soul, with strength, As strong the battle rolls! 'Gainst lies and lusts and wrongs, Let courage rule our souls: In keenest strife, Lord, may we stand, Upheld and strengthened by Thy hand. 4 Not long the conflict: soon The holy war shall cease, Faith's warfare ended, won The home of endless peace! Look up! the victor's crown at length! March on, O soul, march on, with strength! Amen. Scripture: Daniel 10:19 Tune Title: ARTHUR'S SEAT

We Are Living, We Are Dwelling

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: The Hymnbook #356 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Church, The Church Militant Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling In a grand and awful time, In an age on ages telling; To be living is sublime. Hark! the waking up of nations, Hosts advancing to the fray; Hark! what soundeth is creation's Groaning for the latter day. 2 Will ye play, then? will ye dally Far behind the battle line? Up! it is Jehovah's rally; God's own arm hath need of thine. Worlds are charging, heaven beholding; Thou hast but an hour to fight; Now, the blazoned cross unfolding, On, right onward for the right! 3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never; Consecrated, born again; Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever, O for Christ at least be men! O let all the soul within you For the truth's sake go abroad! Strike! let every nerve and sinew Tell on ages, tell for God. Amen. Scripture: Romans 8:22 Tune Title: BLAENHAFREN

One sole baptismal sign

Author: George Robinson Hymnal: The Hymnal #463 (1916) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: One sole baptismal sign, One Lord, below, above, One faith, one hope divine, One only watchword, Love: From different temples though it rise, One song ascendeth to the skies. Our sacrifice is one, One Priest before the throne. The slain, the risen Son, Redeemer, Lord alone! And sighs from contrite hearts that spring, Our chief, our choicest offering. Head of thy Church beneath, The catholic, the true, On all her members breathe, Her broken frame renew! Then shall thy perfect will be done, When Christians love and live as one. Amen.

Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise!

Author: Alexander Pope Hymnal: The Hymnal #466 (1916) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise! Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes! See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 424 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn: See future sons, and daughters yet unborn, In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in thy light, and in thy temple bend: See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While every land its joyous tribute brings. The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed his word, his saving power remains; Thy realms shall last, thy own Messiah reigns.

Pleasant are thy courts above

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnal #467 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: Pleasant are thy courts above, In the land of light and love; Pleasant are thy courts below, In this land of sin and woe. O my spirit longs and faints For the converse of thy saints, For the brightness of thy face, For thy fullness, God of grace! Happy birds that sing and fly Round thy altars, O Most High! Happier souls that find a rest In a heavenly Father's breast! Like the wandering dove, that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair And enjoy it ever there. 425 Happy souls! their praises flow Ever in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies: On they go from strength to strength Till they reach thy throne at length, At thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by thy saving grace; Give me at thy side a place. Sun and shield alike thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart. Grace and glory flow from thee; Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: MAIDSTONE

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal #468 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: Glorious things of thee are spoken, Sion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for his own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, when such a river Ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 426 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner, Light by night, and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna, Which he gives them when they pray. Blest inhabitants of Sion, Washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 'Tis his love his people raises Over self to reign as kings: And as priests, his solemn praises Each for a thank-offering brings.

Von Löwenstern; Philip Pusey Hymnal: The Hymnal #469 (1916) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: Lord of our life, and God of our salvation, Star of our night, and hope of every nation, Hear and receive thy Church's supplication, Lord God Almighty. See round thine ark the hungry billows curling! See how thy foes their banners are unfurling! Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling, Thou canst preserve us. 427 Lord, thou canst help when earthly armour faileth; Lord, thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth; Lord, o'er thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth: Grant us thy peace, Lord! Peace, in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging, Peace, in thy Church, where brothers are engaging, Peace, when the world its busy war is waging; Calm thy foes raging! Grant us thy help till backward they are driven; Grant them thy truth, that they may be forgiven; Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven, Peace in thy heaven. Amen.

How gleam thy watchfires through the night With never-fainting ray! How rise thy towers, serene and bright, To meet the dawning day!

O where are kings and empires now

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: The Hymnal #471 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Militant Lyrics: O where are kings and empires now Of old, that went and came? But, Lord, thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. We mark her goodly battlements, And her foundations strong; We hear within the solemn voice Of her unending song. For not like kingdoms of the world Thy holy Church, O God, Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad; Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands.

No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with dread; No more shall hell's insulting host Their victory and thy sorrows boast.
