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.

Amazing that a few (LA LA Land) folks still even noticed/realized what these guys are driving around in.

Thx.

I recd this from bevperl, a longtime Freeper who founded Band of Mothers. Bev attended the Freeper events at Walter Reed hospital supporting our troops.

Email from Bev:

“My understanding is there are plans to bring our Troops home from Niger over the coming days. I don’t trust that is going to happen in the coming days. I don’t trust anything the current “regime” in charge puts out because they are all a bunch of liars.

Please folks, tomorrow call your Congressmen and Senators and tell them to Bring Our Troops Home from Niger! Let them know we will not tolerate another Benghazi. Not Now, Not Ever Again!

The situation there for our Troops is horrendous and they need to come home. Another epic failure by the Obama/Biden administration (really, I should have left Biden off. I think we all know know this is Barry’s transformation of America in it’s final phase).
Our Troops are not sacrificial lambs for a bunch of crooks who are running our government. Right into the ground, I might add.

I have listed links to the House and Senate Armed Services Committee below the videos of Congressman Gaetz. Please watch these videos. The arrogance of the Secretary of the Army and the goofy General who says he’ll look into “somebody” not getting their mail. The smugness and arrogance of these two imbeciles testifying makes me wish they be planted right smack in the middle of Niger with the coup operators surrounding them.

Please call the members and ask them if they are aware we have American military in Niger who have been abandoned. Please sternly let them know we will run them out of town if they don’t get our Troops out of Niger.

The links to the House and Senate Armed Services Committee Members:

Armed Services (118th Congress)

https://armedservices.house.gov/subcommittees/armed-services-118th-congress

https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/about/membership

Please make calls folks. The same maniacs who deserted and abandoned our Troops in Benghazi are running the show again. Help me ring the phones on the hill to ensure these brave men and women in Niger get home to their families.

God Bless Congressman Matt Gaetz and his hardworking staff. They are doing remarkable work on behalf of our military!

And Always and Forever,

God Bless and Watch Over Our Troops Serving All Over the World!

Good afternoon, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

And a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
