The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 835 hymnals Scripture: Acts 7:59-60 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 train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, the matron and the maid, around the Savior'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.

God, We Praise You!

Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Acts 7:55 First Line: God, we praise you! God we bless you! Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you! God, we bless you! God, we name you sovereign Lord! Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your church adored: all creation shows your glory, heaven and earth draw near your throne singing "Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!" 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, saints who set their world ablaze, martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, join one growing song of praise, while your church on earth confesses one majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the King of glory, everlasting Son of God, humble was your virgin mother, hard the lonely path you trod. By your cross is sin defeated, hell confronted face to face, heaven opened to believers, sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, you will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants for whose freedom you have paid. Raise us up from dust to glory, guard us from all sin today; King enthroned above all praises, save your people, God, we pray.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 845 hymnals Scripture: Acts 7:59-60 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, unuttered or expressed, the motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear, the upward glancing of an eye when none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try; prayer the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, the Christian's native air, their watchword at the gates of death, they enter heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is not made by us alone: the Holy Spirit pleads, and Jesus, on the eternal throne, for sinners intercedes. 6 O Christ, by whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way, the path of prayer yourself have trod, Lord, teach us how to pray.
