[blocks in formation]

Fight the fight, main-tain the strife, Strengthened with the Bread of Life.

AMEN.

2 Onward, Christians, onward go,
Join the war, and face the foe;
Faint not: much doth yet remain;
Dreary is the long campaign.

3 Shrink not, Christians: will ye yield?
Will ye quit the painful field?
Will ye flee in danger's hour?
Know ye not your Captain's power?

4 Let your drooping hearts be glad;
March, in heavenly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long;
Victory soon shall tune your song.

5 Let not sorrow dim your eye,
Soon shall every tear be dry;
Let not woe your course impede,
Great your strength, if great your need

6 Onward then to battle move;
More than conquerors ye shall prove:
Though opposed by many a foe,
Christian soldiers, onward go.

2 A cloud of witnesses around .
Hold thee in full survey:
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way.

3 'Tis God's all-animating voice
That calls thee from on high;
'Tis His own hand presents the
prize

To thine aspiring eye:

481 (MARLOW) C. M.

1 Am I a soldier of the cross,

A follower of the Lamb,

And shall I fear to own His cause,

Or blush to speak His Name?

2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease,

4 That prize with peerless glories bright, Which shall new lustre boast, When victors' wreaths and monarchs'

gems

Shall blend in common dust.

5 Blest Saviour, introduced by Thee, Have I my race begun;

And, crowned with victory, at Thy feet I'll lay my honors down.

Rev. Philip Doddridge, publ. 1755

I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.

4 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die;

They view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.

While others fought to win the prize, 5 When that illustrious day shall rise,

And sailed through bloody seas?

3 Sure I must fight if I would reign: Increase my courage, Lord;

And all Thy armies shine

In robes of victory through the skies. The glory shall be Thine.

Rev. Isaac Watts, 1724
