World-Wide Prohibition

Author: C. H. G. Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 First Line: The order has gone forth - "Mover forward!" Refrain First Line: To the front, O soldiers brave Lyrics: 1 The order has gone forth- "Move forward!" Gird on the armor and away! In columns firm and strong advancing, On to the front without delay! On to the front! oh, be up and away! Let not the din of strife o'erwhelm thee; Let not the enemy alarm, For lo, there goeth on before thee, One able to defend from harm. Chorus: To the front, O soldiers brave, (be brave,) There's a world from drink to save; (to save;) Then fight for world-wide prohibition, For world-wide prohibition. 2 From far and near the cry rings- "Help us!" Behold, the moment is at hand When ev'ry loyal christian soldier Should hear and heed the Lord's demand, Should hear the Lord, for He speaks to command! For Satan's strong-holds must be taken; His idols must be overthrown; Let ev'ry volunteer awaken, And make the temp'rance cause his own. [Chorus] 3 Before thine eyes a mighty army Goes marching onward to the grave; And will ye see them pressing forward, Nor reach a helping hand to save, Nor reach a hand to deliver and save? From o'er the waters, too, comes ringing The pleading Macedonian cry; O Christian, rouse ye from thy slumber, And answer "Master, here am I." [Chorus] Topics: Patriotic and Temperance Used With Tune: [The order has gone forth - "Move forward!"]

The Missionary Marseillaise

Author: W. P. Rivers Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: Ye Christian men of every nation Refrain First Line: Arise, O Church of God! Lyrics: 1. Ye Christian men of every nation, Hark, hark what cries salute your ears! The heathen in their degradation They call for help with sighs and tears, They call for help with sighs and tears; Shall souls immortal languish bleeding? Oppressed by Satan’s slavish chains, In superstition’s woes and pains, While Christian hearts are dead, unheeding? Refrain Arise, O Church of God! Awake for Jesus’ sake! March on, march on, all hearts aflame, For Christ the world to take. 2. By thousands, hopeless, they are falling, And ne’er have heard their Savior’s name; For life and liberty they’re calling, But perish in their guilt and shame, But perish in their guilt and shame; Too long have Christians heard their wailing, Their death cries out of pagan night; Their prayers in vain for Gospel light; Oh, shall their cries be unavailing? [Refrain] 3. Oh, ye who serve the King of Glory, In lands where Heaven’s blessings glow, Can ye withhold salvation’s story, From myriads sunk in heathen woe? From myriads sunk in heathen woe? Nay, by the blood that makes men brothers, The bannered cross must be unfurled; The kingdom is for all the world, And men redeemed must uplift others. [Refrain] 4. Shall Christians hoard their golden treasure? And pile their stores with miser’s greed, Or spend for fashion, pride and pleasures, While empires for the Gospel plead? While empires for the Gospel plead? Can men of soul, their God adoring, For heaven’s crowning glories hope? While millions in their blindness grope, And die, the light of life imploring? [Refrain] 5. See, Heaven lends cooperation! For conquests grand and manifold; And calls the Church to consecration, Of life and strength and precious gold; Of life and strength and precious gold; While with God’s power the world is shaking, O’erturning systems, creeds and caste, And working changes worldwide vast, ’Tis time dead Christian souls were waking. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MARSEILLAISE
