A PROCESSIONAL HYMN
Christians in name and faith,
As gain we count the loss,
The world's contempt for those who bear
The banner of the Cross.
Who is on My side? Who with Me?
The Lord cries day by day:—
In Thy blest service only free,
We range ourselves to follow Thee,
The Truth, the Life, the Way!
Then follow, follow, Him Whose blood
From death and doom hath freed us:—
The crimson'd footsteps of His love
To life eternal lead us!
As gain we count the loss,
The world's contempt for those who bear
The banner of the Cross.
Who is on My side? Who with Me?
The Lord cries day by day:—
In Thy blest service only free,
We range ourselves to follow Thee,
The Truth, the Life, the Way!
Then follow, follow, Him Whose blood
From death and doom hath freed us:—
The crimson'd footsteps of His love
To life eternal lead us!
Sons of the Church of Christ,
A stricter rule we own,
A loftier law, than they who live
By Nature's law alone.
Thou art our Hope, ascended Lord,
Our leading-star in Heaven!
But in Thy life with human-kind,
That perfect Manhood here, we find
Our great Exemplar given.
Then follow ...
A stricter rule we own,
A loftier law, than they who live
By Nature's law alone.
Thou art our Hope, ascended Lord,
Our leading-star in Heaven!
But in Thy life with human-kind,
That perfect Manhood here, we find
Our great Exemplar given.
Then follow ...
43
All justice, truth, and love,
All purity, Thy days;
We cannot think Thee as Thou wert;
We cannot speak Thy praise!
When doubt and danger round us rage,
Uphold us by Thy power;
And in Thy mercy lend the grace
By faith to see Thee face to face
In Death's imperious hour!
Then follow ...
All purity, Thy days;
We cannot think Thee as Thou wert;
We cannot speak Thy praise!
When doubt and danger round us rage,
Uphold us by Thy power;
And in Thy mercy lend the grace
By faith to see Thee face to face
In Death's imperious hour!
Then follow ...
—Ah! little love to Thee
For Thy great love we bring!
So is there sadness in our song,
E'en while for joy we sing!
Captain of our salvation, come!
Uplift Thy victor-sign!
For Thee we fight; with Thee we bleed:
Lord, to Thy peace Thy soldiers lead,
And make us wholly Thine!
Then follow, follow, Him whose blood
From death and doom hath freed us:—
The crimson'd footsteps of His love
To life eternal lead us!
For Thy great love we bring!
So is there sadness in our song,
E'en while for joy we sing!
Captain of our salvation, come!
Uplift Thy victor-sign!
For Thee we fight; with Thee we bleed:
Lord, to Thy peace Thy soldiers lead,
And make us wholly Thine!
Then follow, follow, Him whose blood
From death and doom hath freed us:—
The crimson'd footsteps of His love
To life eternal lead us!
