Forward! Be Our Watchword (Metropolitan Tabernacle)

Congregational singing Metropolitan Tabernacle, London Text: Henry Alford | Tune: RACHIE ‘Forward!’ be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind: See the fiery pillar At our army’s head; Who shall dream of shrinking By our Saviour led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight: Jordan flows before us, Zion beams with light. Forward, flock of Jesus, Salt of all the earth, Till each yearning purpose Springs to glorious birth: Take the Word of mercy, Work while it is day: Spread through all the nations Love’s redeeming ray; Lead them out of error, By the Spirit’s might; Urge them from their darkness Forward into light. Glory upon glory Has our God prepared, For the souls that love Him One day to be shared: Eye has not beheld them, Ear has never heard, Nor of them has uttered Thought or speech a word: But in future glory, Where the heavens are bright, Shall the veil be lifted And our faith be sight. Over yon horizon, Rise the City’s towers, Where our God abideth − That fair home is ours! Shining walls of jasper, Streets of crystal gold, And, of life, a river Shedding joys untold! Press, then, onward thither, In the Spirit’s might, Pilgrims, to your country − Forward into light!
