Onward, Christian Soldiers

Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 11.11.11.11.11.11 Appears in 1,792 hymnals First Line: Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war Refrain First Line: Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war Lyrics: 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! Refrain:Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,With the cross of Jesus going on before.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.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.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 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.

Gift So Great

Author: Joel A. Erickson Meter: 11.11.11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Jesus died on a cross--oh, what awful cost! Lyrics: 1 Jesus died on a cross—oh, what awful cost!— That He might from sin’s blight save us, sinners lost; Harken, soul, hear Him call, open wide the door, Taste and see love so free, yours forevermore; Still He waits patiently, pleading one more time: Now believe, now receive saving grace sublime. 2 In this world we will have burdens hard to bear: Jesus came cares to claim, and our sorrows share; Weary soul, come to Christ, give Him all your woes— In Him find peace of mind, rest, relief, repose; When the waves, tossing wild, seem to speak an end, There, until “Peace, be still,” faithful stands a Friend. 3 Sinful soul, idle not, time is passing by, Be not blind, sin will bind tighter and for aye; Ere thy heart harder grows, won’t you heed the call? Won’t you choose? Don’t refuse mercy free for all; Savior sent, still He stands, sacrifice from Heav’n, Gift so great—do not wait, come and be forgiv’n. 4 Lord, I come, come to Thee, bringing all my sin, Thou alone can atone, wash me white within; Sin’s desires I have fed I do now forsake, Satan’s hold, though of old, I would ever break; This I cry, hopeful, and, as I cross the line, Set my will; Thou fulfill, save and make me Thine.

Refrain All glory to God in the highest we sing, And peace upon earth through the newly born King. 2. From Star of the Sea the glad sunlight hath shined; Springs the Lion of Judah from Naphtali’s hind; The life from the dying, the rose from the thorn: The Maker of all things of maiden is born. [Refrain] 3. The manger of Bethlehem opens once more The gates of that Eden where man dwelt of yore, And He who is lying, a Child, in the cave, Hath conquered the foeman, hath ransomed the salve. [Refrain] 4. In midst of the Garden the tree of life stands, And offers His twelve fruits to lips and to hands, The Lord of Salvation, the Gentiles’ desire, Hath ta’en from the cherubs their sword-blade of fire. [Refrain] 5. On hole of the aspic the sucking Child plays, And His hand on the den of the cockatrice lays; The Dragon, which over a fallen world reigned, By the seed of the woman is vanquished and chained.

God Hath Sent His Angels to the Earth Again

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 11.11.11.11.11.11 Appears in 70 hymnals Refrain First Line: Angels, sing His triumph, as you sang His birth Lyrics: God hath sent his angels to the earth again, Bringing joyful tidings to the sons of men; They who first, at Christmas, thronged the heavenly way, Now beside the tomb-door, sit on Easter Day. Angels sing his triumph, as you sang his birth, "Christ, the Lord, is risen. Peace, goodwill on earth." In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried, There the faithful angels gathered at his side; And when in the garden, grief and pain and care Bowed him down with anguish, they were with him there. Yet the Christ they honor is the same Christ still, Who, in light and darkness, did his Father's will; And the tomb deserted shineth like the sky, Since he passed out from it into victory. God has still His angels, helping, at his word, All his faithful children, like their faithful Lord; Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife, Opening wide the tomb-doors, leading into life.

Sing a hymn to Jesus when the heart is faint, Tell it all to Jesus, comfort or complaint. If the work is sorrow, if the way is long, If thou dread’st the morrow, tell it Him in song; Though thy heart be aching for the crown and palm, Keep thy spirits waking with a thankful psalm. 2. Jesus, we are lowly, Thou art very high; We are all unholy, Thou art purity; We are frail and fleeting, Thou art still the same; All life’s joys are meeting in Thy blessèd name. Sing a hymn to Jesus when the heart is faint, Tell it all to Jesus, comfort or complaint. 3. All His words are music, though they make me weep, Infinitely tender, infinitely deep. Time can never render all in Him I see; Infinitely tender, human deity. Sing a hymn to Jesus when the heart is faint, Tell it all to Jesus, comfort or complaint. 4. Jesus, let me love Thee, infinitely sweet, What are the poor odors I bring to Thy feet? Yet I truly love Thee; come into my heart, And ere long remove me to be where Thou art. Thus I sing to Jesus when my heart is faint; So I tell to Jesus comfort or complaint. Used With Tune: AVONDALE (Cawthorne)
