Once to every man and nation
Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819 - 91 Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth and 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 for ever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs,
Christ, thy bleeding feet we 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.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis 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. Used With Tune: EBENEZER (TON-Y-BOTEL)

O for a faith that will not shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst, 1796 - 1877 Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by many a foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of poverty or woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
5 Lord, give me such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
I’ll taste e’en now the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON

Ere the foe on Zion tread;

Firmly on this ground have stood;
See their banner waving o’er us,
Conquerors through the Saviour's Blood.
Ground we hold, whereon of old
Fought the faithful and the bold.
3 Fighting, we shall be victorious
By the blood of Christ our Lord;
On our foreheads, bright and glorious,
Shines the witness of his word;
Spear and shield on battlefield,
His great Name; we cannot yield.
4 When his servants stand before him
Each receiving his reward,
When his saints in light adore him,
Giving glory to the Lord;
'Victory!' our song shall be
Like the thunder of the sea. Used With Tune: NEANDER (UNSER HERRSCHER)

to do its Maker's will;
the stars with solemn voices
resound your praises still.

each thought, each deed I do,
be, LORD, my strength, my Savior,
a ceaseless song to you. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: FAITHFUL
