2 Forward, flock of Jesus,

Salt of all the earth,
Till each yearning purpose
Spring to glorious birth:
Sick, they ask for healing,
Blind, they grope for day;
Pour upon the nations
Wisdom's loving ray.
Forward, out of error,

Leave behind the night;
Forward through the darkness,
Forward into light!

3 Glories upon glories

Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them,

Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight.

With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died.

2 Elect from every nation,

Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation

One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,

Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,

With every grace endued.

3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,

By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,

Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.

4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious

Her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest.

2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint, while such a river

Ever flows their thirst to assuage;
Grace, which, like the Lord the giver,
Never fails from age to age.

3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,

Showing that the Lord is near:
Thus deriving from their banner

Light by night, and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna [pray.
Which he gives them when they
