Let courage rule our souls:
In keenest strife, Lord, may we stand,
Upheld and strengthened by Thy hand.

The home of endless peace!

Not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,
Raise the warrior psalm;
But for Love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died:

Must be on His side.
By Thy love constraining,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.

Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army
None can overthrow:
Round His standard ranging,
Victory is secure;
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.

We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.

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 Sabaoth 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 forever.

Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?

Armed by faith and winged by prayer;

When Thou shalt breathe from heaven.

And found in Thee its life.

As we journey, sweetly sing;
Sing our Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are traveling home to God
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
4 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: PLEYEL'S HYMN

Life divine to gain,
We will ever make endeavor
Until we attain;
What detains we’ll cast aside,
By that promise to abide:
Who endureth, life secureth,
And the prize shall gain.
2 While contending, and withstanding
For the truth and right;
Draw us nearer, show us clearer,
Lord, Thy Spirit’s might;
Let Thy word its strength impart
To each sad and yearning heart;
Praise abounding shall be sounding,
At Thy throne of light.
3 In the sorrow which the morrow
May around us roll,
Hold us ever, leave us never,
Save, O save the soul!
Through temptation’s daily strife,
Through the vanities of life,
Lead us onward, forward, upward,
To our glorious goal. Languages: English Tune Title: STRIVING

Author: Rev. Ernest W. Shurtleff Hymnal: The Hymnal #371 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Courage and Loyalty Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King Eternal,
The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home:
Through days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong,
And now, O King Eternal,
We lift our battle song.
2 Lead on, O King Eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace;
For not with swords' loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly Kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King Eternal:
We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er Thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.
Amen. Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN
Lead on, O King Eternal
