The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#811

811. Far down the ages now

1 Far down the ages now,
Much of her journey done,
The pilgrim church pursues her way,
Until her crown be won.

2 No slacker grows the fight,
No feebler is the foe,
Nor less the need of armor tried,
Of shield and spear and bow.

3 Thus onward still we press
Through evil and through good,
Through pain and poverty and want,
Through peril and through blood.

4 Still faithful to our God,
And to our Captain true,
We follow where he leads the way,
The kingdom in our view.
