The Son of God Goes Forth to War" by Reginald Heber, 1783-1826) 1. The Son of God goes forth to war A kingly crown to gain. His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below-- He follows in His train. 2. The martyr first whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw His Master in the sky And called on Him to save. Like Him, with pardon on His tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong-- Who follows in his train? 3. A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel-- Who follows in their train? 4. A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Thro' peril, toil, and pain. O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train!
Polish language version: Syn Boży idzie śmiało w bój, koronę zdobyć swą. Skrwawiony sztandar wznosi się. Kto pójdzie za Nim dziś? Kto chce z kielicha biedy pić, pokonać własny ból? Kto z was chce krzyż cierpliwie nieść? Niech pójdzie w Jego ślad. Męczennik wpierw, co poza grób sokolim wzrokiem tnie. Co Pana swego dostrzegł tam i błagał: Ratuj mnie! Jak On o przebaczenie win, śmiertelną znosząc kaźń, Dla katów swych błagania śle. Kto pójdzie w Jego ślad? Chwalebne grono Pańskich sług, na których zstąpił Duch. Dwunastu ufnych uczniów kpi ze stali, ognia, ran. Nie straszny im tyrana gniew ni lwa rozwarte kły. Przed śmiercią kładą karki swe. Kto pójdzie w Jego ślad? Szlachetna rzesza starców i młodzieńców śpiew pieśń. Przy tronie Zbawcy chwalą Go odziani cali w biel. Do bramy Nieba wspólnie szli przez trud i znój, i łzy. O, Panie, okaż łaskę nam, abyśmy za Nim szli.

A few things - the son of God goes to war in a different way that man does. The Cross the the ultimate weapon against the devil. Martyrdom was more powerful than an army, etc. However, where in the world did you hear that Christianity taught one mustn't kill? One mustn't murder - that bible teaches, but one may kill justly. Just war, Christians in government, self-defense, etc. Killing is not wrong, only murder. War is not wrong, only unjust war.

Well put! There are many wolves in sheep's clothing just as Jesus said there would be. (Mat 7:15) Many people deny Christ because of their observations of those who CLAIM to be Christians. Satan has placed posers in the church to "spoil the brand". Most deniers don't know the Bible, but condemn Christianity because of the behavior of Christians. Christians should never claim to be righteous anyway... Christ is righteous... He is our righteousness.
"Posers". Yes, that's it. Such as trolls operating under provocateur names, claiming to lift the glory of the Son of God. Under the banner of personal gain, of course...their own, even if by way of those who facilitate them. I propose that if Christ is righteous, he is not your righteousness. That Christ dying for your sins makes your sins no more righteous. If one would be righteous in the shadow of Jesus, than they should strive to be more like Jesus, rather than trying to personify the Christ into something more like themself, in order to suit their petty ambitions.
@peleno93 actually the inqusition was basically a system of trials. The Spanish Republic on the other hand killed many people (especailly religious people) without a trial.
@peleno93 The original ten commandment's in Hebrew list it as, "thou shall not commit murder". There's a huge difference between murder and killing. Further in the Bible in Revelations it says clearly God hates cowards. Cowardism would be to flee or cringe in the face of danger. God expects us to fight for a just cause & has no tolerance for those who won't. Sorry pacifists ! Let the wanna be oppressors beware. When Jesus comes back he will no longer be the lamb either, he will be the Lion.
They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 88 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! 89 As if the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin.90 That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.91 For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.92 Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant.93 (Maryam)Holy Quran
Allah is not the God of the Jews and Christians, Yqhwe/ Yahuah Elohim Adonai. Allah is the pagan moon god, HuBal. He is the Arab name for Baal peor of Edom and Moab. You Muslims worship the Baal of the Canaanites. Islam is Arab Pagan idolatry in sheep's clothing. You Worship the pagan god of the Qurarysh, foisted on you by Mohammed. I knock the dust of my shoes on your false Prophet, and your fallen angel put forth as God.
It would be monstrous if by son, we meant God engaged in procreation. God is complete, unique, one of a kind. When Christians speak of the Son of God, we are referring to the Logos or Word of God. Jesus Christ was the Word made flesh, even the Quran admits this in Surah 4:171. The Word of God is the self revelation of God, that is God makes known to us who He is and seeks a relationship with us. The prophets of old all carried the Word of God within them, but they were all imperfect and incapable of fully expressing the glory of God in Whose image we are made. Adam was created a man, and specifically was made to bring the image of God into the world, IE His Word or self revelation. Adam sinned and failed, and all humanity fell as a result. A second Adam was needed, and this was Jesus the Christ. He was perfect, sinless, in everlasting agreement with the Father. He embodied the Word, while Adam did not. It's worth noting that in the bible, Adam is called the son of God because God created him, and all the holy angels are known as the sons of God. The kings of ancient Israel, who lead the people were called the anointed son of God. Even Israel itself is referred to as God's son. The humanity of Jesus was formed in the womb of Jesus by the Holy Spirit, but the Divinity of Jesus is the self revelation of God to the created world. As the Apostle John says, he dwelt in a "tent of flesh"(that is the Logos, God's complete self-revelation resided in and was one with the humanity of Jesus) among us.
Christ said "Before Abraham was, I AM. Then they took up stones to cast at him...Because he (rightfully) claimed God's Old Testament Title of HIMSELF. The Father and the Son and the Spirit ARE ONE!
The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called to Him to save: Like Him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane, They bowed their necks, the death to feel: Who follows in their train? A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed by strength divine from heaven, Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train.

The Son of God Goes Forth to War"
by Reginald Heber, 1783-1826)
1. The Son of God goes forth to war
A kingly crown to gain.
His blood-red banner streams afar;
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink His cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below--
He follows in His train.
2. The martyr first whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw His Master in the sky
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong--
Who follows in his train?
3. A glorious band, the chosen few,
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel--
Who follows in their train?
4. A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Thro' peril, toil, and pain.
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train!
Thank you for sharing lyrics.
Amen!
Amen!
What are the chords to this arrangement?
This song was sang at Gen. George S. Patton Jr's funeral in December 1945.
❤
This was my first time hearing this song! Incredible!
Very very beautiful
What a powerful hymn!
A fine and godly hymn
Polish language version:
Syn Boży idzie śmiało w bój,
koronę zdobyć swą.
Skrwawiony sztandar wznosi się.
Kto pójdzie za Nim dziś?
Kto chce z kielicha biedy pić,
pokonać własny ból?
Kto z was chce krzyż cierpliwie nieść?
Niech pójdzie w Jego ślad.
Męczennik wpierw, co poza grób
sokolim wzrokiem tnie.
Co Pana swego dostrzegł tam
i błagał: Ratuj mnie!
Jak On o przebaczenie win,
śmiertelną znosząc kaźń,
Dla katów swych błagania śle.
Kto pójdzie w Jego ślad?
Chwalebne grono Pańskich sług,
na których zstąpił Duch.
Dwunastu ufnych uczniów kpi
ze stali, ognia, ran.
Nie straszny im tyrana gniew
ni lwa rozwarte kły.
Przed śmiercią kładą karki swe.
Kto pójdzie w Jego ślad?
Szlachetna rzesza starców i
młodzieńców śpiew pieśń.
Przy tronie Zbawcy chwalą Go
odziani cali w biel.
Do bramy Nieba wspólnie szli
przez trud i znój, i łzy.
O, Panie, okaż łaskę nam,
abyśmy za Nim szli.
Awesome!
Beautifully done.

Who follows in his train?
Who best can drink His cup of woe,
triumphant over pain,
who patient bears his cross below,
he follows in His train.

who saw his Master in the sky
and called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue
in midst of mortal pain,
he prayed for them that did the wrong!
Who follows in His train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
on whom the Spirit came,
twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
and mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
the lion's gory mane;
they bowed their necks the death to feel:
who follows in their train?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
the matron and the maid,
around the Savior's throne rejoice
in robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
through peril, toil and pain;
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
to follow in their train.
Wow! Thank you for posting this!
One of the day before my eyes are burning in my life
Deeply moved because of this song. I am going to see if it can be translated into Dutch.
Hats on!!!

A beautiful hymn . A different melody than I have heard but absolutely beautiful.

Yes, we are ALL sinners, who fall short of the Glory of God.
so nice to hear that instrument (I don't know the name, it makes the rhythm/beat here)
That would be the tamborine.
@@oldiesaregoldies3511 thanks👍🏻
I was not familiar with this hymn. It is quite powerful! Do I see that the men and the women are worshiping separately in this church?
No they do not
@peleno93 actually the inqusition was basically a system of trials. The Spanish Republic on the other hand killed many people (especailly religious people) without a trial.

Where can I get the spiral bound pianist copy?
Where can I find a recording of this?
right here on youtube :)
Is there a rock cover of this anywhere?
Anthems of Grace, Firstfruits......may or may not be what you mean by rock. More contemporary.
@peleno93 ...How is that relevant?
what is the name of this tune?
The Son of God Goes Forth to War
@@foucachon the name of the hymn tune is actually Greyoaks, I believe.
@@janedunsworth8728 It's often also called "The Minstrel Boy".
@@cedk144 this isnt the minstrel boy, though the tune is sometimes used with this song
This is a murdered hit....the Minstrel Boy tune deserves bettef
The hymn is being sung to a totally different tune here.
@peleno93 What's Christianism?
i can remember when women dressed like women NOT men. Thats called toxic masculinity.
Hmm in some way that guy reminds me of Hitler.

Who follows in his train?
A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane,
They bowed their necks, the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?
A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed by strength divine from heaven,
Through peril, toil, and pain:
O God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.
