Onward, Christian soldiers

Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 1,841 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 host doth 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, and 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 people, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph-song; Glory, laud, and honour, 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. Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism

Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed

Meter: Irregular Appears in 568 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed His tender last farewell, A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed With us to dwell. 2 He came in semblance of a Dove, With sheltering wings outspread, The holy balm of peace and love On earth to shed. 3 He came sweet influence to impart, A gracious, willing guest, While He can find one humble heart Wherein to rest. 4 And His that gentle voice we hear, Soft as the breath of even, That checks each thought, that calms each fear, And speaks of heaven. 5 And every virtue we possess, And every victory won, And every thought of holiness, Are His alone. 6 Spirit of purity and grace, Our weakness, pitying, see: O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place, And meet for Thee.

Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings

Meter: Irregular Appears in 808 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise, from transitory things Towards heaven, thy native place; Sun, and moon, and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon thy Saviour will return, To take thee to the skies: There is everlasting peace, Rest, enduring rest, in heaven; There will sorrow ever cease, And crowns of joy be given.

Safe Home, safe Home in port!

Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Safe Home, safe Home in port! Rent cordage, shattered deck, Torn sails, provisions short, And only not a wreck: But O the joy upon the shore To tell our voyage perils o’er! 2 The prize, the prize secure! The warrior nearly fell; Bare all he could endure, And bare not always well: But he may smile at troubles gone Who sets the victor-garland on! 3 No more the foe can harm No more of leaguer'd camp, And cry of night alarm, And need of ready lamp: And yet how nearly he had fail'd,— How nearly had that foe prevail'd! 4 The lamb is in the fold In perfect safety penn'd: The lion once had hold, And thought to make an end; But One came by with wounded Side, And for the sheep the Shepherd died.

Safely through another week

Appears in 1,026 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Safely through another week God has brought us on our way; Let us now a blessing seek On the approaching holy day; Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest! 2 Mercies multiplied each hour Through the week our praise demand; Guarded by Almighty power, Fed and guided by His hand: though ungrateful we have been, And repaying love with sin. 3 While we pray for pardoning grace, Through the dear Redeemer's Name, Show thy reconcilèd face, Take away our sin and shame; From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this night with Thee. 4 When the morn shall bid us rise, May we feel Thy presence near; May Thy glory meet our eyes, While we in Thy house appear: There afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast. 5 May Thy Gospel's joyful sound Conquer sinners, comfort saints; May the fruits of grace abound, Bring relief for all complaints: Such the days of rest we love, Till we join the Church above.

See the destined day arise

Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the destined day arise! See a willing Sacrifice; Jesus, to redeem our loss, Hangs upon the shameful Cross! 2 Jesus, who but Thou had borne, Lifted on that tree of scorn, Every pang and bitter throe, Finishing Thy life of woe? 3 Who but Thou had dared to drain Steeped in gall the cup of pain, And with tender body bear Thorns, and nails, and piercing spear? 4 Thence the cleansing Water flowed, Mingled from Thy Side with Blood; Sign to all attesting eyes Of the finished Sacrifice. 5 Holy Jesus, grant us grace In that Sacrifice to place All our trust for life renewed, Pardoned sin, and promised good.
