Forward! Be Our Watchword
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #430 (1999) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword,
Steps and voices joined;
Seek the things before us,
Not a look behind:
Burns the fiery pillar
At our army’s head;
Who shall dream of shrinking,
By our Captain led?
Forward through the desert,
Through the toil and fight;
Jordan flows before us,
Zion beams with light!
2 Forward! flock of Jesus,
Salt of all the earth,
Till each yearning purpose
Springs to glorious birth:
Sick, they ask for healing;
Blind, they grope for day;
Pour upon the nations
Wisdom’s loving ray.
Forward, out of error,
Leave behind the night;
Forward through the darkness,
Forward into light!
3 Glories upon glories
Hath our God prepared,
By the souls that love Him
One day to be shared!
Eye hath not beheld them,
Ear hath never heard;
Nor of these hath uttered
Thought or speech a word:
Forward, marching eastward
Where the heaven is bright.
Till the veil be lifted,
Till our faith be sight!
4 Far o'er yon horizon
Rise the city towers,
Where our God abideth;
That fair home is ours:
Flash the streets with jasper,
Shine the gates with gold;
Flows the gladdening river
Shedding joys untold.
Thither, onward thither,
In the Spirit's might:
Pilgrims to your country,
Forward into light!
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: ST THERESA
Forward! Be Our Watchword
Religion Is the Chief Concern
Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #436 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Religion is the chief concern
Of mortals here below:
May I its great importance learn,
Its sovereign virtue know!
2 O may my heart, by grace renewed,
Be my Redeemer’s throne;
And be my stubborn will subdued,
His government to own!
3 Let deep repentance, faith, and love
Be joined with godly fear;
And all my conversation prove
My heart to be sincere.
4 Let lively hope my soul inspire;
Let warm affections rise;
And may I wait with strong desire
To mount above the skies!
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: GREEN HILL

Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #438 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His Name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign:
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith they bring it nigh.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all Thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine.
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

Trust And Obey
Author: Rev J. H. Sammis Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #443 (1999) Meter: 6.6.9 D with refrain Topics: The Call to Service First Line: When we walk with the Lord Lyrics: 1 When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good-will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey.
2 Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey. [Refrain]
3 Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]
4 But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for all who will trust and obey. [Refrain]
5 Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: TRUST AND OBEY

Work, for the Night Is Coming
Author: Annie L. Coghill, 1836-1907 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #435 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming:
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling:
Work 'mid springing flowers;
Work when the day grows brighter;
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work, for the night is coming:
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor:
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is darkening,
When man's work is o'er.
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: WORK SONG

Joy is a Fruit
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #441 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Call to Service First Line: Joy is a fruit that will not grow Lyrics: 1 Joy is a fruit that will not grow
In nature's barren soil;
All we can boast, till Christ we know,
Is vanity and toil.
2 But where the Lord has planted grace,
And made His glories known,
There fruits of heavenly joy and peace
Are found– and there alone.
3 A bleeding Saviour, seen by faith,
A sense of pard'ning love,
A hope that triumphs over death–
Give joys like those above.
4 To take a glimpse within the veil,
To know that God is mine–
Are springs of joy that never fail,
Unspeakable, divine!
5 These are the joys that satisfy
And sanctify the mind;
Which make the spirit mount on high,
And leave the world behind.
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: ELIZABETHTOWN

Soldiers of Christ, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #444 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through His eternal Son;
Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in His mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
2 Stand, then, in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts passed,
Ye may o'ercome thro' Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
3 From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day:
Still let the Spirit cry,
In all His soldiers, "Come!"
Till Christ the Lord descends from high,
Shall take the conquerors home.
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
Soldiers of Christ, Arise

Author: John S B Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #442 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Fight the good fight with all thy might,
Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy right;
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
2 Run the straight race through God's good grace;
Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face.
Life with its way before us lies;
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
3 Cast care aside, lean on thy guide;
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
4 Faint not, nor fear, his arms are near,
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.

Soldiers of the Cross, Arise!
Author: Jared B Waterbury Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #445 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.6 D Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise!
Lo! your Leader from the skies
Waves before you glory’s prize,
The prize of victory.
Seize your armor, gird it on;
Now the battle will be won;
See, the strife will soon be done;
Then struggle manfully.
2 Jesus conquered when He fell,
Met and vanquished earth and hell;
Now He leads you on to swell
The triumphs of His cross.
Though all earth and hell appear,
Who will doubt, or who can fear?
God, our strength and shield, is near;
We cannot lose our cause.
3 Onward, then, ye hosts of God!
Jesus points the victor’s rod;
Follow where your Leader trod;
You soon shall see His face.
Soon, your enemies all slain,
Crowns of glory you shall gain,
Soon you’ll join that glorious train
Who shout their Saviour’s praise.
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: CALEDONIA
Soldiers of the Cross, Arise!
