ADMONITION AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
They see the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes of vict’ry, through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.

Mutual encouragement.
1 D RETHREN, while we sojourn here,
L) Fight we must, but should not fear,
Foes we have, but we’ve a friend,
One that loves us to the end.
Forward, then, with courage go,
Long we shall not dwell below;
Soon the joyful news will come,
‘Child, your Father calls, come home.’
2 In the way a thousand snares
Lie to take us unawares ;
Satan, with malicious art,
Watches each unguarded part;
But, from Satan’s malice free,
Saints shall soon victorious be;
Soon the joyful news will come,
‘Child, your Father calls, come home.’
3 But of all the foes we meet,
None so oftmisleadour feet,
None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within;
Yet let nothing spoil your peace,
Christ will also conquer these ;
Then the joyful news will come,
‘Child, your Father calls, come home.’
