My Redeemer Lives.

SAMUEL MEDLEY.

Tune, UXBRIDGE. L. M.

1.

I know that my Redeemer lives; What joy the blest assurance gives! 2. He lives, to bless me with his love; He lives, to plead for me a- bove; 3. He lives, and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death; He lives, all glory to his name; He lives, my Saviour, still the same;

He lives, he lives, who once was dead; He lives, my everlasting Head!
He lives, my hungry soul to feed; He lives, to help in time of need.
He lives, my mansion to prepare; He lives, to bring me safely there.
What joy the blest assurance gives, I know that my Redeemer lives!

Onward, Christian Soldiers!

SABINE BARING-GOULD.

Tune, ONWARD. 6,5.

1. Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus
2. At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee; On, then, Christian soldiers,
3. Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading
よ

Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on be-fore.

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, laud, and honor
Unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing.
