Hail to the Lord's anointed

Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #283b (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed; Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes, with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; Love, joy, and hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace the herald go; And righteousness in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before Him And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing; For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. 5 O'er every foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever, His changeless name of Love. Languages: English Tune Title: SALVE DOMINE

March on, march on, O ye soldiers true

Author: Miss Ella S. Armitage, 1841- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #298 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 March on, march on, O ye soldiers true, In the cross of Christ confiding, For the field is set, and the hosts are met, And the Lord His own is guiding. Through earth's wide round, let the tidings sound, Of the Lord who came from heaven; Of the mighty hope, that with death can cope, And the love so freely given. Refrain: March on, march on, O ye soldiers true, In the cross of Christ confiding, For the field is set and the hosts are met, and the Lord His own is guiding. 2 We march to fight with the powers of night, That have held the world in sorrow; And the broken heart shall forget its smart, And shall hail a joyful morrow, We fight with wrong, and our weapon strong Is the love which hate shall banish; And the chains shall fall from each ransomed thrall, As the thrones of tyrants vanish. [Refrain] 3 Long wear the fight, but the God of right, Though unseen, is ever near us; And the prayers that rise to the listening skies Like a song of hope shall cheer us. Till the sunrise broad of the day of God Shall declare the victor's glory, And the world shall rest in her Lord confessed, And shall sing the finished story. [Refrain] Amen.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #358a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears His cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save. Like Him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong; Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane, They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain; O God! to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war

Baring-Gould, 1834 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #381 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, Looking unto Jesus, who is gone before! Christ, the Royal Master, leads against the foe; Forward into battle see His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 2 Like a mighty army, moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod; We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 3 Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus constant will remain; Gates of hell can never gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, which can never fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before! 4 Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud, and honour, men and angels sing, Through the countless ages, unto Christ the King. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, which is gone before!

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: Dr. F. H. Hedge, 1805-; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #396a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our Helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabbaoth is His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4 That Word above all earthly powers No thanks to them abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours, Through Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever. Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

See how great a flame aspires

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #286 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 See how great a flame aspires, Kindled by a spark of grace! Jesus' love the nations fires, Sets the kingdoms on a blaze; To bring fire on earth He came, Kindled in some hearts it is; O that all might catch the flame, All partake the glorious bliss! 2 When He first the work begun, Small and feeble was His day; Now the word doth swiftly run, Now it wins its widening way; More and more it spreads and grows, Ever mighty to prevail, Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell. 3 Sons of God, your Saviour praise! He the door hath opened wide; He hath given the word of grace, Jesus' word is glorified; Jesus, mighty to redeem, He alone the work hath wrought; Worthy is the work of Him, Him who spake a world from nought. 4 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand Now it spreads along the skies, Hangs o'er all the thirsty land; Lo! the promise of a shower Drops already from above; But the Lord will shortly pour All the Spirit of His love!

According to Thy gracious word

Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #257 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee! 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee! 3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee! 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice, I must remember Thee! 5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, And all Thy love to me; Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me!

His providence is leading, The land before you lies; Day-gleams are o'er it brightening, And promise clothes the soil; Wide fields, for harvest whitening, Invite the reaper's toil. 2 Go where the waves are breaking Along the ocean shore, Christ's precious gospel taking, More rich than golden ore; Go to the woodman's dwelling, Go to the prairie broad, The wondrous story telling, The mercy of our God. 3 The love of Christ unfolding, Speed on from east to west, Till all, His cross beholding, In Him are fully blest. Great Author of salvation, Haste, haste the glorious day, When we, a ransomed nation, Thy scepter shall obey! Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1794-1878 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #289 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 O North, with all thy vales of green! O South, with all thy palms! From peopled towns and fields between Uplift the voice of psalms; Raise, ancient East, the anthem high, And let the youthful West reply. 2 Lo! in the clouds of heaven appears God's well-beloved Son; He brings a train of brighter years; His kingdom is begun. He comes, a guilty world to bless With mercy, truth, and righteousness. 3 O Father, haste the promised hour, When at His feet shall lie All rule, authority, and power, Beneath the ample sky; When He shall reign from pole to pole, The Lord of every human soul: 4 When all shall heed the words He said Amid their daily cares, And by the loving life He led Shall seek to pattern theirs; And He, who conquered death, shall win The nobler conquest over sin.
