As through this changing world we roam
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As through this changing world we roam
From infancy to age,
Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home,
His rest at every stage;
Thither his raptured thoughts ascend,
Eternal joys to share;
There his adoring spirit bends,
While here he kneels in prayer.
2 From earth his freed affections rise
To fix on things above,
Where all his hope of glory lies,
And love is perfect love;
Ah! there may we our treasure place,
There let our hearts be found,
That sill where sin abounded, grace
May more and more abound. Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Used With Tune: COURAGE
As through this changing world we roam
Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross
Author: R. F. Cottrell Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross;
The moment soon will come
When you shall lay your armor off,
And reach your blissful home.
The pearly gates will wide unfold
Before our conquering King,
And entering hosts, with harps of gold,
Triumphantly shall sing.
2 What though the warfare be severe,
And enemies be strong;
And painful watchings, dark and drear,
The tedious night prolong;
Our Captain passed this way before,
And felt each cruel sting:
Courage! the strife will soon be o'er,
And then with joy we'll sing.
3 Many a soldier in this strife,
Has nobly bled and died,
Counting it joy to give his life
For Him once crucified.
And when our Captain comes again,
Those from the dead he'll bring;
And they with us, and we with them,
Triumphantly will sing.
4 O, 'twill be joy, but to behold
That glad immortal throng
Enter and walk the streets of gold,
And sing the victor's song!
To see that host and hear that song,
Must joy ecstatic bring;
But those who will may join that throng,
With them you too may sing. Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Used With Tune: COURAGE
Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross
