Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Glory as of old to Thee,

Now and evermore shall be.

S. M.

Music in Hollister's Service and Tune Book, p. 130.
OLDIERS of Christ, arise,

And put your armor on,

Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through his Eternal Son.

2 Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in his mighty power;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts,
Is more than conqueror.

3 Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God;

4 That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts passed,
Ye may behold your victory won,
And stand complete at last.

C. M.

His blood-red banner streams afar :
Who follows in his train?

2 Who best can drink his cup

Triumphant over pain,

of woe,

Who patient bears his cross below,
He follows in his train.

3 The martyr first whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky
And called on Him to save.

4 Like Him with pardon on his tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the

wrong:

Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew
And mocked the cross and flame.

6 They met the tyrants' brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane,

They bowed their necks, the death to feel:
Who follows in their train ?

7 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.

8 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.

OFT in danger, oft in woe,ard

Onward, Christians, onward go,

Bear the toil, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the Bread of Life.

2 Let not sorrow dim your eye,
Soon shall every tear be dry:
Let not fear your course impede,
Great your strength, if great your need.

167

3 Let your drooping hearts be glad :
March in heavenly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long,
Soon shall victory wake your song.

4 Onward, then, to glory move;
More than conquerors ye shall prove!
Though opposed by many a foe,
Christian soldiers, onward go!

5 Hymns of glory and of praise,
Father, unto Thee we raise :
Holy Jesus, praise to Thee
With the Spirit ever be.

Marching as to war,

Going on before.

Christ, the royal Master,

Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,

CHORUS.

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

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.
CHORUS.Onward, etc.

5 Onward, then, ye people,
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.

RIGHTLY gleams our banner,
Pointing to the sky,

Waving wanderers onward
To their home on high.
Journeying o'er a desert,

Gladly thus we pray,
And, with hearts united,
Take our heavenward way.

CHORUS. Brightly gleams our banner,
Pointing to the sky,
Waving wanderers onward
To their home on high.

2 Hail! sweet Jesus, Master,
Round thy sacred feet,
Here, with hearts rejoicing,
See thy children meet.
Long, alas! we've left Thee,
Straying far away;

Now once more we'll enter

On the narrow way.
CHORUS.

Brightly gleams, etc.

3 All our days direct us,
Make us meek and mild,
By thy childhood's pattern,
Mary's Holy Child.
Bid thine angels shield us,
When the storm clouds lower,
Pardon Thou protect us
At death's solemn hour.

CHORUS. Brightly gleams, etc.

4 Jesus, saints and angels

With thy Church combine,
Offering prayers and praises
At thy glorious shrine:
When the toil is over,

Then comes rest and peace,

Jesus in his beauty, ·

Songs that never cease.

CHORUS. Brightly gleams, etc.
