The Son of God goes forth to war 

A kingly crown to gain 

His bloodred 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. 

The 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? 

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 to death to feel 

Who follows in their train? 

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 heav’n 

Through peril, toil and pain 

O God, to us may grace be giv’n 

To follow in their train.

To the tune of "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name"

You have recorded all my ways, 

All pathways that I took; 

Within Your bottle placed my tears, 

Are they not in Your book? 

When I cry out then my foes flee; 

I know God is for me.

In God whose word I give my praise, 

The LORD's word I revere, 

In God I now have put my trust, 

So I will have no fear. 

In God is where my trust will be; 

What can man do to me?

Your vows are binding on me, God, 

I'll render thanks to You. 

For You have saved my soul from death, 

My feet from stumbling, too. 

So I will walk before God's sight 

With life and in its light.

To the tune of "Scarborough Fair"

Listen to my words, O LORD; 

Know the whispered things I say. 

Heed my crying out for help - 

God, my King, to You I pray.

Hear me in the morning, LORD, 

When I lift my voice on high, 

Setting forth my plea to You,

 Looking out with watchful eye.

For I know that You, O God, 

Find in evil no delight; 

Evil cannot dwell with You, 

Nor the proud stand in Your sight.

You hate all who practice sin. 

You destroy the one who lies; 

For the LORD abominates 

Those who schemes of blood devise.

Yet in Your abounding love, 

To Your house will I draw near, 

Bowing to Your holy place, 

Worshiping in rev'rent fear.

To the tune of "A Mighty Fortress"

God is our refuge and our strength

 A present help in our distress 

We will not therefore be afraid 

Though all the earth should be removed 

Though mountains great be hurled 

Into the ocean’s depths 

Though seas may roar and foam 

And billows shake the shore 

Though mountains tremble at their power 

A river brings refreshing streams 

To cheer the city of our God 

The Most High’s holy dwelling place 

God is in her; she won’t be moved 

At dawn will God help her 

The nations rage; realms quake 

He lifts His voice; earth melts 

The Lord of hosts with us! 

Our fortress strong is Jacob’s God 

O come, see what the Lord has done 

He desolations brought on earth 

On earth He puts an end to wars 

Breaks bow and spear, and chariots burns 

Be still! Know I am God 

Exalted o’er all men 

Exalted o’er all earth 

The Lord of hosts with us! 

Our fortress strong is Jacob’s God

“Be seated here at my right hand,” 

The LORD to my Lord did command, 

“For of these heathen I will make 

A kingly footstool for your sake.”  

The LORD shall send your mighty rod 

From Zion’s hill, the mount of God, 

To smite your foes until they break; 

The throne among them you must take. 

Hail to Jesus; Christ is reigning 

All will bow and all will name Him 

Jesus, King of Kings 

Upon your head a crown of dew, 

Your morning makes the old things new. 

And all who see your holy power 

Will bow before you in that hour.  

Melchizedek, a kingly priest 

In You his line is now increased 

Your life, the off'ring that you gave 

The price was paid; you left the grave.   

The kings who fight against my Lord 

Shall taste His wrath and meet His sword 

Upon their corpses He will look 

Then drink to vengeance from a brook.
