Hark! the sound of the fight

Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Hark! the sound of the fight has gone forth Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of the fight hath gone forth, And we must not tarry at home; For our Lord, from the South and the North has commanded his soldiers to come. We must on, with our banner unfurled; We must on, 'tis Jesus who leads; We must haste to conquer the world, With the sign of the Lamb who bleeds. 2 We must stand to our colors like men, Our Lord is a leader to love; For the wounded He heals, and the slain he crowns in the city above, We must march to the battle with speed; Upon earth our duty is strife: Oh, how blest are the soldiers who bleed For the Saviour who died to give life. 3 There is Jesus in Heaven above, There is Jesus on earth below; And His the one standard we love-- And his the one watchword we know-- Let us sing the new song of the Lamb-- Let us sing round our Banner so brave. Let us sing of that beautiful Blood Which was shed to redeem and to save. Used With Tune: [Hark! the sound of the fight hath gone forth]

O how lovingly, my Jesus, Thou dost with me ever bear; I can never, never, thank Thee For Thy goodness and Thy care. 4 When the brooding darkness hides me Bitter tears of pain I weep; But, Thou loving One, Thou healest All my sorrow dark and deep. Oh, Thy priceless love, my Jesus! Human love and love divine; Thou art gentle, Thou art mighty; All Thy Sacred Heart is mine. Used With Tune: [Oh, the priceless love of Jesus!]

Amen. Used With Tune: [O kindest Maker, turn Thine ears]
