"Forward!" be our watchword

Author: Rev. Henry Alford Hymnal: HPAG1933 #369 (1950) 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? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Zion beams with light! 2 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers, Where our God abideth; That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river, Shedding joys untold. Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might; Pilgrims to your country, Forward into light! 3 To th' eternal Father Loudest anthems raise, To the Son, and Spirit, Echo songs of praise, To the Lord of glory, Blessed Three in One, Be by men and angels Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises, Dull the songs of night: Forward into triumph, Forward into light! Amen.

O Lord of life, Thy Kingdom is at hand

Author: Rev. Marion Franklin Ham Hymnal: HPAG1933 #370 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 O Lord of life, Thy Kingdom is at hand, Blest reign of love and liberty and light; Time long foretold by seers of every land; The cherished dream of watchers through the night. 2 Lo! in our hearts shines forth the morning star, Shedding its luster on our darkened way; And we behold, as pilgrims from afar, The holy dawning of Thy perfect day. 3 Now gleams at last upon our waiting eyes The glory of the Kingdom that shall be; When truth in conquering grandeur shall arise, And man shall rule the world with equity. 4 Forward again we move at Thy command, The flaming pillar leading on anew; One in the faith of all Thy prophet band, Onward we press to make the vision true.

Lead on, O King Eternal

Author: Rev. Ernest W. Shurtleff Hymnal: HPAG1933 #371 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King Eternal, The day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home: Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong, And now, O King Eternal, We lift our battle song. 2 Lead on, O King Eternal, Till sin's fierce war shall cease, And Holiness shall whisper The sweet Amen of peace; For not with swords' loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums, But deeds of love and mercy, The heavenly Kingdom comes. 3 Lead on, O King Eternal: We follow, not with fears; For gladness breaks like morning Where'er Thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light: The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might.

O brothers, lift your voices

Author: Bishop Edward H. Bickersteth Hymnal: HPAG1933 #372 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O brothers, lift your voices, Triumphant songs to raise; Till heaven on high rejoices, And earth is filled with praise: Ten thousand hearts are bounding With holy hopes and free; The gospel trump is sounding, The trump of Jubilee. 2 O Christian brothers, glorious Shall be the conflict's close; The cross hath been victorious, And shall be o'er its foes: Faith is our battle token; Our Leader all controls; Our trophies, fetters broken; Our captives, ransomed souls. 3 Not unto us, Lord Jesus: To Thee all praise be due, Whose blood-bought mercy frees us, Has freed our brethren too. Not unto us: in glory The angels catch the strain, And cast their crowns before Thee Exultingly again. 4 Great God of our salvation, Thy presence we adore; Praise, glory, adoration Be Thine forevermore; Still on in conflict pressing On Thee Thy people call, Thee King of kings confessing, Thee crowning Lord of all.

Once to every man and nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: HPAG1933 #373 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 't is truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own.

We are living, we are dwelling

Author: Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: HPAG1933 #374 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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.

When wilt Thou save the people?

Author: Ebenezer Elliott Hymnal: HPAG1933 #375 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.8.5 Lyrics: 1 When wilt Thou save the people? O God of mercy, when? Not kings and lords, but nations! Not thrones and crowns, but men! Flowers of Thy heart, O God, are they; Let them not pass, like weeds, away, Their heritage a sunless day. God save the people! 2 Shall crime bring crime for ever, Strength aiding still the strong? Is it Thy will, O Father, That man shall toil for wrong? "No," say Thy mountains; "No," Thy skies; Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise, And songs ascend, instead of sighs; God save the people! When wilt Thou save the people? O God of mercy, when? The people, Lord, the people, Not thrones and crowns, but men! God save the people; Thine they are, Thy children, as Thine angels fair; From vice, oppression, and despair, God save the people! Amen.

Go, labor on: spend and be spent

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HPAG1933 #376 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on: spend, and be spent, Thy joy to do the Father's will: It is the way the Master went; Should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go, labor on; 't is not for nought; Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain: Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; The Master praises: what are men? 3 Go, labor on while it is day: The world's dark night is hastening on; Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away; It is not thus that souls are won. 4 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray, Be wise the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway, Compel the wanderer to come in.
