Hymn 581 – ONWARD Seraphim Band, marching as to war | C&S English Hymnary

1. ONWARD Seraphim Band, marching as to war Lift on high victory sword, ‘gainst satan and sin Almighty conqueror, hath conquered for us Amidst num‐ber-less foes, be not afrightened Do the will of the Lord, like the saints of old God who hark to Abrah'm Shall hark to our plea. 2. Onward Cherubim Band, marching as to war Walls of Jericho fell, for the sacred songs Marching from strength to strength, spoils of war to stock Onward! marching-onward ever amidst countless scuffs Do the will of the Lord, like the saints of old God who hark to Moses, shall hark to our plea. 3. Forget not His powers on Pharaoh the King Forget not His victory amidst the red sea Cloudly pillar at the dawn, beam of fire at dusk To defend and shield them away from effects of foes Do the will of the Lord, like the Saints of old God who hark to Joshua, shall hark to our plea. 4. Father, God, Provider, shall our needs provide Forget not His mercies in the wilderness Water for the thirsty, sourceth from the Rock Meat for the hungered provi‐deth all manna and Quails Do the will of the Lord, like the Saints of old God who hark to Daniel, shall hark to our plea. 5. Forward ever marching, amidst temptations Ceaselessly praying on, thou shall victory earn Our protection repose on the strength of God Forget not Saints Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego Do the will of the Lord, like the Saints of old God who heard Elijah, shall hark to our plea. 6. Seraphim here below, fe-li-ci-ta-ting Cherubim here below, fe-li-ci-ta-ting Feast of God in heaven above we shall all partake Won in fellowship with the martyrs Praising God above Do the will of the Lord, like the Saints of old The Holy Trinity, shall hark to our plea AMEN
