Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #155 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy Lyrics: 1 Hark! 'tis our heav'nly Leader's voice,
From the bright realms above;
Amidst the war's tumultuous rage,
A voice of pow'r and love.
2 "Maintain the fight, my faithful band,
"Nor fear the mortal blow;
"He, that in such a warfare dies,
"Shall speedy vict'ry know.
3 "I have my days of combat seen,
"And in the dust was laid:
"But now I sit upon my throne,
And glory crowns my head.
4 "This throne, this glory shall be yours;
"My hands the crown shall give;
"And you the blest reward shall share,
"While God himself shall live."
5 Lord! 'tis enough, our souls are fir'd
With courage and with love,
Vain are th' assaults of earth and hell;
Our hopes are fix'd above.
6 We'll trace the footsteps thou hast drawn
To triumph and renown;
Nor shun thy combat and thy cross,
May we but share thy crown. Topics: Sufferings and Death of Christ Languages: English
