Take up your cross, take up your sword, and fight the battles of your Lord! 3 March on, my soul, with strength, with strength, but not your own; the conquest you shall gain, through Christ your Lord alone; His grace shall nerve your feeble arm, His love preserve you safe from harm. 4 March on, my soul, with strength, from strength to strength march on; warfare shall end at length, all foes be overthrown. Then, O my soul, if faithful now, the crown of life awaits your brow. Used With Tune: CHRISTCHURCH

Friend and guide through life’s long journey, grateful hearts to You we bring; but for love so true and changeless how shall we fit praises sing? 2 Mercies new and never-failing brightly shine through all the past, watchful care and loving-kindness always near from first to last, tender love, divine protection ever with us day and night; blessings more than we can number strew the path with golden light. 3 Shadows deep have crossed our pathway, we have trembled in the storm; clouds have gathered round so darkly that we could not see Your form; yet Your love has never left us in our griefs to be alone, and the help each gave the other was the strength that is Your own. 4 Many that we loved have left us, reaching first their journey’s end; now they wait to give us welcome, brother, sister, child, and friend. When at last our journey’s over, and we pass away from sight, Father, take us through the darkness into everlasting light. Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON Text Sources: Home Hymn Book, 1885

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Hallelujah! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always Hallelujah!
