When Israel Was in Egypt's Land

let my people go;
oppressed so hard they could not stand,
let my people go.
Refrain:
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land,
tell old Pharaoh, to let my people go.
2 The Lord told Moses what to do,
let my people go;
to lead the children of Israel through,
let my people go. [Refrain]
3 For you the cloud shall clear the way,
let my people go;
a fire by night, a shade by day,
let my people go. [Refrain]
4 We need not always weep and moan,
let my people go;
and wear these slav'ry chains forlorn.
let my people go. [Refrain]

of freedom and of faith,
of freedom and of faith.
3 Their kindling power our souls confess; though dead they speak today:
how great the cloud of witnesses
encompassing our way,
encompassing our way.

one song shall yet be heard:
move onward in thy course sublime,
O everlasting Word,
O everlasting Word. Languages: English Tune Title: BENNINGTON

Who Would True Valor See
Author: John Bunyan, 1628-1688 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #106 (1993) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Exemplars and Pioneers Lyrics: 1 Who would true valor see,
let them come hither;
one here will constant be,
come wind, come weather;
there's no discouragement
shall make him once relent
his first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.
2 Whoso beset me 'round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound;
his strength the more is.
No lion can him fright,
I'll with a giant fight,
but I shall have a right
to be a pilgrim.
3 No word of foe or friend
can daunt my spirit;
I know I at the end
will life inherit.
Then fancies fly away;
I'll fear not what they say;
I'll labor night and day
to be a pilgrim. Languages: English Tune Title: MONK'S GATE

My Life Flows On in Endless Song
Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #108 (1993) Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Commitment and Action Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song
above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
2 What though the tempest 'round me roars,
I know the truth, it liveth.
What though the darkness 'round me close,
songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love prevails in heav'n and earth,
how can I keep from singing?
3 When tyrants tremble as they hear
the bells of freedom ringing,
when friends rejoice both far and near,
how can I keep from singing!
To prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging;
when friends by shame are undefiled,
how can I keep from singing? Languages: English Tune Title: SINGING

New glory dawns upon the world;
the warring banners must be furled,
the earth become our common home.
2 From plain and field and town there sound
the stirring rumors of the day;
old wrongs and burdens must make way
for all to tread the common ground.
3 Divided we have long withstood
the love that is our common speech.
The comrade cry of each to each
is calling us to humanhood. Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH

pulsing in the hero’s blood,
nerving simplest thought and deed,
freshening time with truth and good,

holy book and pilgrim way,
quelling floods of tyrant wrong,
widening freedom’s sacred sway.

and the people’s liberty! Languages: English Tune Title: VIENNA

Forward Through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #114 (1993) Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Commitment and Action 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.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
2 Wider grows the vision,
realm 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.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
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.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
