Forward Through the Ages

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Commitment and Action Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages, in unbroken line, move the faithful spirits at the call divine: gifts in differing measure, hearts of one accord, manifold the service, one the sure reward. Forward through the ages, in unbroken line, move the faithful spirits at the call divine. 2 Wider grows the vision, realm of love and light; for it we must labor, till our faith is sight. Prophets have proclaimed it, martyrs testified, poets sung its glory, heroes for it died. Forward through the ages, in unbroken line, move the faithful spirits at the call divine. 3 Not alone we conquer, not alone we fall; in each loss or triumph lose or triumph all. Bound by God’s far purpose in one living whole, move we on together to the shining goal. Forward through the ages, in unbroken line, move the faithful spirits at the call divine. Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE

Let war be learned no longer, let strife and tumult cease, all earth a blessed garden and God the god of peace. 2 Let all that now divides us remove and pass away, like shadows of the morning before the blaze of day. Let all that now unites us more sweet and lasting prove, a closer bond of union, in a blessed land of love. 3 O long-expected dawning, come with your cheering ray! Yet shall the promise beckon and lead us not astray. O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on to pray, and hope, and labor, till all our work is done. Used With Tune: WEBB

Then it is the brave one chooses, while the coward stands aside, till the multitude make virtue of the faith they have denied. Used With Tune: EBENEZER

The Church's Gift

Author: William W. How Appears in 495 hymnals Topics: Christ Prophet First Line: O Word of God incarnate Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky! We praise thee for the radiance That from the hallowed page, A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age. 2 The Church from her dear Master Received the gift divine, And still that light she lifteth O'er all the earth to shine. It is the golden casket Where gems of truth are stored, It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ the living Word. 3 Oh, make thy Church, dear Saviour, A lamp of burnished gold, To bear before the nations Thy true light as of old; Oh, teach thy wandering pilgrims By this their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see thee face to face.
