Forward through the Ages

Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,

move the faithful spirits at the call divine:

gifts in differing measure, hearts of one accord,

manifold the service, one the sure reward.

​

(Chorus) 

Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,

move the faithful spirits at the call divine.

​

Wider grows the vision, realm of love and light;

for it we must labor, till our faith is sight.

Prophets have proclaimed it, martyrs testified,

poets sung its glory, heroes for it died. (Chorus)

​

Not alone we conquer, not alone we fall;

in each loss or triumph lose or triumph all.

Bound by God’s far purpose in one living whole,

move we on together to the shining goal. (Chorus)
