Soldiers of the Captain!
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #328 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the Captain!
Stand, for Him, and fight,
Hardness glad enduring,
Armour'd in His might!
He is that great Victor
Praise in Angels' songs,
Glory of each soldier
Who to Him belongs.
Refrain:
Soldiers of the Captain!
Stand, for Him, and fight,
Hardness glad enduring,
Armour'd in His might!
2 Leader never vanquished -
More than conquerors too,
Through Himself, He maketh
All His soldiers true;
O'er the foe, triumphant,
He must still prevail -
So, His soldiers faithful,
With Him cannot fail. [Refrain]
3 Take ye, then the Helmet,
Breastplate, Shield, and Sword -
Thus equipped, for battle
Ready at His word:
Fierce though be the warfare,
Sure is the renown -
And, though dark the conflict,
Bright the promised crown. [Refrain]
4 Jesus! Captain! help us
Soldiers good to be -
Living, dying, ever,
Fighting Lord, for Thee:
Eager to march forward,
In those ranks of Thine -
Waiting but the order
From Thy voice divine! [Refrain]
Amen.

William Henry Monk
1823 - 1889 Person Name: W. H. Monk Composer of "[O wie lieb und teuer]" in Jugendharfe William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851).

Christian Gottlob Barth
Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Soldiers of the Captain" in Hymns of Praise with Tunes In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
