The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: R. Heber Appears in 846 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky; And called on Him to save; Like Him, with pardon on His tongue; In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A noble band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame; They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane, They bowed their necks the stroke to feel; Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train.

That day of wrath, that dreadful day

Author: Thomas of Celano Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 348 hymnals Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away, What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? 2 When, shriveling like a parched scroll, The flaming heavens together roll; When louder yet, and yet more dread, Resounds the trump that wakes the dead; 3 O on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
