| Hymn A & M 529- The Son of God goes forth to war |
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. That 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 glorious 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 death
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.
