Forward! be our watchword

Appears in 344 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Step 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 thro' the desert, Thro' the toil and fight, Jordan flows before us, Sion beams with light. 2 Forward when in childhood Buds the infant mind; All through youth and manhood, Not a thought behind: Speed through realms of nature, Climb the steps of grace; Faint not, till in glory Gleams our Father's face. Forward, all the life-time Climb from height to height: Till the head be hoary, Till the eve be light! 3 Forward, flock of Jesus, Salt of all the earth, Till each yearning purpose Spring to glorious birth; Sick, they ask for healing, Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom's loving ray. Forward, out of error, Leave behind the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into light. 4 Glories upon glories, Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech or word. Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight! Amen. Used With Tune: S. BOTOLPH

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Appears in 325 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow, Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding Light; Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the Light of God's own Presence, O'er His ransom'd people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread; One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspired. 3 One the strain the lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun; One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore. Where the one Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers, Onward, with the Cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Til we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking; Soon the rending of the tomb; Then, the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom! Amen. Used With Tune: S. ASAPH
