Hymn Context Compare
On, right on­ward for the right!
Than crys­tal drops of morn­ing dew.
Vengeance on Thy foes to take
Surely He com­eth, and the earth re­joic­es,
Lord, in Thy name Thy serv­ants plead,
Surely He cometh, and the earth rejoices,
Nor keeps a cer­tain road;
The sun in heav’n grow pale;
Hail to the morn, the world ex­ult­ing sings;
Eternal truth shall bind.
The co­ve­nant re­call,
The Lord has giv­en Thee;
One of God’s loy­al few,
One of God’s loy­al few,
Who still in strength ex­cel,
Who hath not lift­ed up his soul,
Tho’ a thou­sand ills betide me;
Are precious in Thy hand.
Christ chose the friend who betrayed Him for gain;
Thy saints with joy and song.

sworn

Consecrated, born again;
That, like Mel­chi­ze­dek’s, Thy reign
Sworn again our earth to shake,
So ev­en I, and
Thine is the har­vest, Thine the seed,
This hath He done, and shall we not adore Him?
And ene­my to God.
Thy faith­ful shall not fail.
Lord of our lives, im­mor­tal King of kings!—
And pledged My ho­li­ness,
From foes to save us all;
Fulfilled His Word shall be.
Can He count up­on you?
Can He count up­on you?
Countless, in­vi­si­ble.
He from th’Eter­nal shall re­ceive
Peace, peace is mine.
And never will turn back,
Mutely faced hatred from those who’d defame;
He will not turn away—
