Forward! Be Our Watchword
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword,
Steps 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 through the desert,
Through the toil and fight;
Jordan flows before us,
Zion beams with light!
2 Forward! flock of Jesus,
Salt of all the earth,
Till each yearning purpose
Springs 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!
3 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 a word:
Forward, marching eastward
Where the heaven is bright.
Till the veil be lifted,
Till our faith be sight!
4 Far o'er yon horizon
Rise the city towers,
Where our God abideth;
That fair home is ours:
Flash the streets with jasper,
Shine the gates with gold;
Flows the gladdening river
Shedding joys untold.
Thither, onward thither,
In the Spirit's might:
Pilgrims to your country,
Forward into light!
AMEN. Used With Tune: ST THERESA
Forward! Be Our Watchword
Work, for the Night Is Coming
Author: Annie L. Coghill, 1836-1907 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,234 hymnals Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming:
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling:
Work 'mid springing flowers;
Work when the day grows brighter;
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work, for the night is coming:
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor:
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is darkening,
When man's work is o'er.
AMEN. Used With Tune: WORK SONG

Trust And Obey
Author: Rev J. H. Sammis Meter: 6.6.9 D with refrain Appears in 489 hymnals Topics: The Call to Service First Line: When we walk with the Lord Lyrics: 1 When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good-will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey.
2 Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey. [Refrain]
3 Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]
4 But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for all who will trust and obey. [Refrain]
5 Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain] Used With Tune: TRUST AND OBEY

Soldiers of Christ, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 926 hymnals Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through His eternal Son;
Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in His mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
2 Stand, then, in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts passed,
Ye may o'ercome thro' Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
3 From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day:
Still let the Spirit cry,
In all His soldiers, "Come!"
Till Christ the Lord descends from high,
Shall take the conquerors home.
AMEN. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Calling
Author: Daniel March Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 519 hymnals Topics: Calling-to Service Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus calling,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are white, and harvests waiting,
who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the Master calls us,
rich reward He offers free;
who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, send me, send me?"
2 If you cannot cross the ocean,
and the distant lands explore,
you can find the lost around you,
you can help them at your door;
if you cannot give your thousands,
you can give the widow's mite;
what you truly give for Jesus
will be precious in His sight.
3 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
while the lost of earth are dying,
and the Master calls for you;
take the task He gives you gladly;
let His work your pleasure be;
answer quickly when He calls you,
"Here am I, send me, send me." Scripture: Matthew 9:36-38 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE
