Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle, See his banners go! [Chorus] Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 2. At the sign of triumph 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. 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. Text: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834–1924 Music: Arthur S. Sullivan, 1842–1900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I discovered a headstone for my third great-grandfather. Part of the inscription is from an old hymn, “Sister Thou Wast Mild and Lovely” and I have done much research about the lyrics and melody. It seems to be listed in modern hymnals even today and it has A beautiful melody. I have only found one audio version that seems to follow the original melody line, and many others that seem to have taken on a more modern approach to the melody. The one that seems most original is sung by children, and their interpretation is basic. (No offense to the children) I’m looking for a rendition from an adult choir . Has anyone in the group heard this beautiful song? Does anyone know of an adult audio version of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decades later, I was walking down a country road, asking the Lord to give me new ideas for church music and the lyrics of this hymn began to play in my mind! I introduced it the following Sunday and the effect was electrifying! As in the video, I had a jazz pianist to energize the song. It's hard to believe that Austin Miles wrote both this energizing hymn and "In the Garden." "Beulah" is a Hebrew word for "marriage" and "Dwelling in Beulah Land" means rising above your problems and enjoying a second honeymoon with God.

Agree - a praise born of extreme agony - and given by the Holy Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was originally written in Welsh, during the Welsh revival. 1 Here is love, vast as the ocean, loving-kindness as the flood, when the Prince of Life, our Ransom, shed for us His precious blood. Who His love will not remember? Who can cease to sing His praise? He can never be forgotten throughout heav'n's eternal days. 2 On the mount of crucifixion fountains opened deep and wide; through the floodgates of God's mercy flowed a vast and gracious tide. Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from above, and heav'n's peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love. 3 In Thy truth Thou dost direct me by Thy Spirit through Thy Word; and Thy grace my need is meeting as I trust in Thee, my Lord. Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring Thy great love and pow'r on me without measure, full and boundless, drawing out my heart to Thee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pilgrim's Progress" characterized "Beaulah land" as a place of REST That Christian and Hopeful came to after all his trials on the road to "Celestial City" - seems to be similar in concept to the Wesleyan "Entire Sanctification" theology.
