Isaiah 59:19

• [Isa 59:19] Sound The Battle Cry

  Sound the battle cry! See, the foe is nigh; Raise the standard high for the Lord; Gird your armor on, stand firm every one; Rest your cause upon His holy Word. Refrain Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner, Ready, steady, pass the word along; Onward, forward, shout aloud Hosanna! Christ is Captain of the mighty throng. Strong to meet the foe, marching on we go, While our cause we know, must prevail; Shield and banner bright, gleaming in the light, Battling for the right we ne’er can fail. Refrain O! Thou God of all, hear us when we call, Help us one and all by Thy grace; When the battle’s done, and the vict’ry’s won, May we wear the crown before Thy face. Refrain

• [Isa 59:19] There’s Peace And Rest In Paradise

  There’s peace and rest in paradise, In weary hours we say; And oh that we had wings like doves That we might flee away! For here so strong the evil seems, So weak appears the good, Our standard wavers in the rush Of evil, like a flood. At times, through the long lonely watch, Nor sun nor moon appears; Without, incessant fightings are, Within, incessant fears. Then for the quiet land we long, And the abode of peace; And for the word, “Come, weary soul, From war and vigil cease!” But in our stronger hours we grasp The warrior’s sword again, And burn the good fight yet to fight, The faithful watch maintain. We fain would tread the famous way Martyrs and saints have trod; The hours ebb fast of this one day Of noblest war for God! The Lord Himself hath need of us; On! till the fight be won; And the King’s words shall thrill the heart: “Servant of God, well done!”

Isaiah 63:16

• [Isa 63:16] Almighty Father, Unoriginate

  Almighty Father, Unoriginate, Whom no man hath seen ever, nor can see; Who reignest blest and only Potentate, Light unapproachable encircling Thee: Almighty Father, hallowed be Thy Name; Who ever art, unchangeably the same. Thou lovest us, else had we never been: Before we were, in ages long ago, Thy love had us and all our wants foreseen, Creating us that we Thy love might know, Yea, Father, Thou, in Whom we live and move, Hast loved us with an everlasting love. Thou madest man immortal at the first, An image of Thine own eternity; And when he fell from life, through sin accursed, And lost his right to the life giving tree, Thy love, unconquered would to him restore His life ennobled and forevermore. Such was Thy love, Thou didst not even spare Thy Best-beloved, but gav’st Him for us all; To live that human life beyond compare, And dying, by His death retrieve our fall. In Him Thy love unbounded we behold, For, giving Him, Thou canst not aught withhold. Thou knowest what we are, how frail and blind, Thou still rememb’rest that we are but dust: Like as a father pitieth, Thou art kind, Thy justice kindness, and Thy kindness just. Then hear Thy children’s prayer from Heav’n Thy throne; Father, Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done.
