ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
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.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before.
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 proud your anthems raise.
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.
What the saints established that I hold for true; What the saints believed, that I believe too. Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold; Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled.
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.
Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song; Glory, laud, and honour unto Christ the King; This through countless ages men and angels sing.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before.

"Onward, Christian Soldiers was written in 1865 with no intention of ever being published, especially in adult hymn books. Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould, its author, was at that time the curate of a parish in Yorkshire county in the north of England. "It was written in great haste, and I am afraid some of the rhymes are faulty. Certainly nothing has surprised me more than its great popularity."
In 1871 Arthur Sullivan wrote the tune St. Gertrude for the hymn, which further popularized the hymn and has ever since been its standard melody.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Love that song!
That Song should irritate the Libs/LGBT in so many ways.

Either it does that, or they try to co-opt Christ and end up with a doormat who doesn’t care if you are madly in love with a doorknob.

I have seen film of the meeting of Roosevelt and Churchill aboard HMS Prince of Wales in the Atlantic. The film shows them attending Sunday services with the American and British sailors
Both Churchill and Roosevelt sing “Onward Christian Soldiers” during the service.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

For some reason, I’ve been a little run-down lately. I hope I am not catching something.
I am a solo tomorrow. That’s OK...less equipment to set up.
