Chorus 231 - 233

231     (F)     RH 299
I've a message from the Lord, hallelujah!
The message unto you I'll give,
'Tis recorded in His Word, hallelujah!
It is only that you look and live.
Look and live my brother, live,
Look to Jesus now and live,
'Tis recorded in His Word, hallelujah!
It is only that you look and live.
 
2) I've a message full of love, hallelujah!
A message, O my friend, for you.
'Tis a message, from above, hallelujah!
Jesus said it, and I know 'tis true.
 
3) Life is offered unto you, hallelujah!
Eternal life your soul shall have,
If you'll only look to Him, hallelujah!
Look to Jesus Who alone can save.
 
232     (Eb)     RH 429 MP 360 OB 18
Onward, Christian solders!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go.
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus, Going on before.
 
2) At the name of Jesus
Satan's host doth flee;
On then Christian soldiers, On to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver, 
At the shout of praise: Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.
 
3) Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, All one body we
One in hope and doctrine, One in charity.
 
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.
5) Onward then, ye people,
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices;
In the triumph song;
"Glory, praise and honour,
Unto Christ the King"
This, through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
 
233     (Bb)
Time's clock is striking the hour,
Jesus will soon descend,
Clothed in the garments of power,
The reign of sin to end.
Then will this anthem be ringing,
Like to a mighty flood,
Then 'round the throne we'll be singing
Glory and praise to God.
Glory, glory to God!
Thus will the ransomed sing;
Glory, glory to God,
The everlasting King.
Praise Him, alleluia!
To that eternal sphere.
We are waiting for our translating;
The time is near.
 
2) In those bright mansions supernal,
Death cannot enter there;
Ages on ages eternal
His likeness we shall bear.
There will the once broken hearted
Rest in the Spirit know;
Sorrow forever departed,
Gladness shall overflow.
 
3) Sighing forever is ended,
Foes shall oppress no more;
Voices in worship are blended
To Him whom all adore.
Bathed in the light soft and tender,
Sealed for eternity,
Praise to the Lamb we will render,
Worthy of praise is He.
 
4) Beautiful wonderful story!
Jesus Himself the Light;
There in the Kingdom of glory
Never shall fall the night.
Now I am singing of heaven,
While here I wage the strife:
Then will the victors be given
Crowns of eternal life.
