Faith of Our Fathers
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Gather Comprehensive #600 (1994) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Scripture: Hebrews 11 First Line: Faith of our fathers! Living still Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers! Living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy,
Whene'er we hear that glorious word:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
2 The martyrs, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
And truly blest would be our fate,
If we, like them, should die for thee.
Faith of the martyrs, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
3 Faith of our mothers! Faith and pray'r
Shall win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We shall all then indeed be free.
Faith of our mothers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
4 Faith of our fathers! We will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife:
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly deeds and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.

The Son of God Goes Forth to War
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #460 (1980) Scripture: Hebrews 11:33-40 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 heav'n
Through peril, toil, and pain;
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train!
Amen. Topics: Warfare, Christian; Warfare, Christian Languages: English Tune Title: [The Son of God goes forth to war]

Rise, my Soul
Rise, My Soul, and Stretch Thy Wings
Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: The Hymnbook #330 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy destined place.
Sun and moon and stars decay,
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So my soul, derived from God,
Longs to view His glorious face,
Forward tends to His abode,
To rest in His embrace.
3 Cease, my soul, then, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon the Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season, and we know
Happy entrance will be given,
All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Hope; Perseverance; Life in Christ Hope and Aspiration Tune Title: AMSTERDAM
