4 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus

Constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never

'Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail.
Onward, etc.

5 Onward, then, ye people!

Join our happy throng!
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song!
Glory, laud, and honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing.
Onward, etc.

Little thought of Satan's power;

Now I feel my sins anew;

Now I feel the stormy hour!
Sin has put my joys to flight;
Sin has turned my day to night.

3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul, Bid my dying hopes revive; Make my wounded spirit whole, Far away the tempter drive; Speak the word and set me free, Let me live alone to Thee.

2 Jesus, Lord and Master,
At Thy sacred feet,
Here with hearts rejoicing
See Thy children meet:
Often have we left Thee,

Often gone astray;
Keep us, mighty Saviour,
In the narrow way. REF.

3 All our days direct us

In the way we go,
Lead us on victorious
Over every foe:

Hold on the fearful fight,
And let the breaking day prolong
The wrestling of the night.

2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in His mighty power;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts,
Is more than conqueror.

3 Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued;

But take to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:-

And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ
And stand entire at last. [alone,
