Forward Through the Ages

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Forward through the ages, in unbroken line, move the faithful spirits at the call divine; gifts in differing measure, hearts of one accord, manifold the service, one the sure reward. Refrain: Forward through the ages, in unbroken line, move the faithful spirits at the call divine. 2. Wider grows the kingdom, reign of love and light; for it we must labor, till our faith is sight. Prophets have proclaimed it, martyrs testified, poets sung its glory, heroes for it died. [Refrain] 3. Not alone we conquer, not alone we fall; in each loss or triumph lose or triumph all. Bound by God's far purpose in one living whole, move we on together to the shining goal.

Our Banner

Appears in 415 hymnals First Line: Brightly gleams our banner Refrain First Line: Brightly gleams our banner Lyrics: 1 Brightly gleams our banner, Pointing to the sky, Waving wand'rers onward, To their home on high; Journ'ying o'er the desert, Gladly thus we pray, And with hearts united, Take our heav'nward way. Chorus: Brightly gleams our banner, Pointing to the sky, Waving wand'rers onward To their home on high. 2 Jesus, Lord and Master; At Thy sacred feet, Here with hearts rejoicing, See Thy children meet; Often have we left Thee, Often gone astray, Keep us, mighty Saviour, In the narrow way. [Chorus] 3 All our days direct us In the way we go, Lead us on victorious, Over every foe; Bid Thine angels shield us, When the storm clouds low'r, Pardon Thou, and save us In the final hour.
