HYMN 715
Tune: 7s 6s Gbogbo ogo, iyin, ola
1. CHRIST Jesus our dear Saviour
To Thee glory we give
For Thine saving grace on us
Ever from ages past
We’re gathered before Thee now
To praise Thine Holy name
We mortal soldiers of Christ
Cherubim, Seraphim
This day We’re celebrating
Before Thee Holy Lord
All glory, praise and honour
Ever to Trinity.
2. Thine blessings we plead Father
In this anniversary
With Holy Spirit fill us
And Divine Strenght we plead
That we may wholly serve Thee
Save us from sin we plead
From demons and temptations
Grant us victory we plead
May our light shine forever
Like city on the rock
Let us worship Christ Jesus
Our benevolent King.
3. Ye mortal soldiers of Christ
Congratulations all
Blow ye the trump of the Lamb
Assigned to thee by God
Thou who march on patiently
Bearing thine cross along
And thou shall reign for ever
When tribulations cease
The latterdays trump shall sound
For judgement of the world
Christ Divine Judge manifest
And sitted on the throne.
4. Many our contemporaries
This day live not to see
In the turmoil of the earth
Many wandered away
Christ is patiently calling
Come wanderers back to fold
Return ye children of Light
To the fold of Jesus
Proclaim around loud and clear
Unto the infidels
The day of the Lord is nigh
Repent! O! now repent.
5. Lord God is the creator
Of heaven and of earth
Flowers He kept flourishing
And stars it’s glittering beams
His voice the storm hath harkened
And all birds He doth feed
Moreso all we His Children
He doth feed everyday
All worthy gifts descending
All from heaven above
Our thanks unto God we give
For all His love unend.
6. Our time is in Thine hand Lord
Oh in this passing year
Pray hard ye soldiers of Christ
The Trinity shall hark
Thou we look to and worship
Lest we be put to shame
And let not we Thine children
Sob and weep not we plead
On Thee we rest all our trust
Thou art our hope Oh Lord
Help us That we may worship
Till when our life endures. Amen
