Forward in His Name
Author: S. C. Kirk Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: The long roll-call is sounding Lyrics: 1 The long roll-call is sounding,
Let Israel awake!
And ev’ry heart responding,
New zeal and courage take,
With all upon the altar
And spirit all aglow,
We cannot stay nor falter
When duty bids us go,
We cannot stay nor falter
When duty bids us go.
2 We’ll find the way retarded
By lions in the path,
And ev’ry stronghold guarded
By mighty men of Gath.
But if these things affright us
When shall the way be free?
When Satan shall invite us—
And that will never be,
When Satan shall invite us—
And that will never be.
3 If Christians did not weaken
When nearing Satan’s grounds,
His kingdom should be shaken
From centre to its bounds.
Our weakness shall not matter,
Unless it comes of doubt;
One shall a thousand scatter,
And two ten thousand rout,
One shall a thousand scatter,
And two ten thousand rout.
4 The hour is here for moving,
Wait not the morrow’s sun;
The church our faith is proving,
The vict’ry must be won.
Then gird the armor brother,
To loiter would be shame;
Press close to one another,
And forward in His name!
Press close to one another,
And forward in His name! Used With Tune: [The long roll-call is sounding]
