Onward, Christian Soldiers

Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Appears in 1,840 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on 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 Going on before. 2 At the sign of triumph Satan’s armies flee; On, then, Christian soldiers, On to victory. Hell’s foundations quiver, At the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 3 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, in doctrine, One in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 4 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, And that cannot fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 5 Onward then, ye faithful, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices, In the triumph-song. Glory, laud, and honor, Unto Christ the King: This through countless ages, Men and angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Amen.

His early only choice! 2 For she has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold; And her rewards more precious are Than all their stores of gold, Than all their stores of gold. 3 She guides the young with innocence In happy paths to tread; A crown of glory she bestows Upon the hoary head, Upon the hoary head. 4 According as her labors rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace, And all her paths are peace.

Chorus: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o’ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. 2 Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world’s temptations, Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears; Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears! [Chorus] 3 Jesus, my heart’s dear refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages Ever my trust shall be.

What more can He say than to you He has said, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? 2 "In every condition--in sickness, in health, In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth, At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be. 3 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed; For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 4 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 5 "When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 6 "E'en down to old age, all My people shall prove My sovereign eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 7 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not, I cannot desert to His foes: That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never--no never--no, never forsake!"

Alas, my God! My Sins are Great

Author: Martin Rutelius, 1550-1618 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that in my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And fled I hence in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek; I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher, Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as pleaseth Thee, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Saviour share it. 7 The Father, Son, upon one throne, And Holy Ghost together, Receive my prayer, and let me share Thy grace and truth forever.
