Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Forward Through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: These Things Shall Be 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.

Hail the Glorious Golden City
Author: Felix Adler, 1851-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: These Things Shall Be Lyrics: 1 Hail the glorious golden city,
pictured by the seers of old:
everlasting light shines o'er it,
wondrous tales of it are told.
Wise and righteous men and women
dwell within its gleaming wall;
wrong is banished from its borders,
justice reigns supreme o'er all.
2 We are builders of that city.
All our joys and all our groans
help to rear its shining ramparts;
all our lives are building stones.
Whether humble or exalted,
all are called to task divine;
all must aid alike to carry
forward one sublime design.
3 And the work that we have builded,
oft with bleeding hands and tears,
oft in error, and in anguish,
will not perish with our years:
it will live and shine transfigured
in the final reign of right:
it will merge into the splendors
of the city of the light. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

when the sword shall gather rust,
and the helmet, lance, and falchion
sleep at last in silent dust.

heard the trumpet's voice too long.
But another age advances,
Seers foretold in ancient song.
2 Years are coming when forever
war's dread banner shall be furled,
and the angel Peace be welcomed,
regent of a happy world.
Hail with song that glorious era,
when the sword shall gather rust,
and the helmet, lance and falchion
sleep at last in silent dust. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

across the sea-plains blue,
but longer far my heart must go
before its dreams come true.

and do the best we may,
and take the hope of dreams in trust
to keep us day by day.
3 A long, long way the sea-winds blow —
but somewhere lies a shore —
thus down the tide of time shall flow
my dreams forever more. Used With Tune: LIVERPOOL
