Christ, the Royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 2 Like a mighty army, moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod; We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 3 Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus constant will remain; Gates of hell can never gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, which can never fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 4 Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud, and honour, men and angels sing, Through the countless ages, unto Christ the King. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before!

He loved me ere I knew Him; He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to Him; And round my heart still closely twine Those ties which nought can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, For ever and for ever. 2 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! He bled, He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me. Nought that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are His, and His for ever. 3 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! All power to Him is given, To guard me on my onward course, And bring me safe to heaven. Th' eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavour: So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest for ever. 4 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender; So wise a Counsellor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From Him, who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth or hell? No! I am His for ever. Used With Tune: CONSTANCE

Lo, here I fall, my Saviour! Turn not from me Thy face; Look on me with Thy favour, Vouchsafe to me Thy face. 3 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine for ever; O may I faithful be! Lord, let me never, never, Outlive my love to Thee. 4 Be near me, Lord, when dying, O show Thy face to me; And, for my succour flying, Come, Lord, and set me free; These eyes, new faith receiving, From Jesus shall not move; For he who dies believing, Dies safely in Thy love.
