I also love this song. I have heard it quoted many times by God's Prophet, Bro. William Branham. What sweet and encouraging words. Increase our Faith and Courage Lord! Certainly, we as Soldiers of the Cross, keep pressing the battle... Almost Home
Hallelujah praise God this song touches my heart it speaks to me. Remind me no matter what am going through God will give me the str6and grace.
We can't go through life with facing our mountain but I'd are soldiers and followers of the lamb there will be rough times praise God all I need to reign is ask shepherd to increase my faith and give me courage to endure the pain glory to God
Our Lord used one, or many a Christian soldier, when He first rescued every Christian from their darkness of soul and mind. This great and enduring hymn speaks of the Holy Spirit commissioning those same rescued souls to follow Him into the battle that brings a glorious and eternal grace to the next would-be Christian. Maranatha.
Woke-up this morning with this song on my heart. Witnessing the intense spiritual warfare that is going on and those that proclaim they are Christians are standing by, actually laying down instead of fighting. I hadn't sung this song in a long time, it was one of the foundation songs when I was growing up. Yet the words ring true. As believers and followers of Christ we are the last hope for a nation that is rapidly turning away from God!
"Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize And sailed through bloody seas?
"Since I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage, Lord!" I first heard the above words of this hymn quoted by the late renowned Evangelist Dr. CD Brooks during an evangelistic campaign when he preached on the subject of the Dark Ages. I'll never ever forget it. God help us to practice the true faith once delivered to the saints.
Thank God for the lyrics of this hymn that remind us of what Paul said in his valedictory (2 Timothy 4:7) that this Christian journey is a fight. And we ought not expect that the world that is influenced by Christ's enemy is going to make it easy for us.
This is a wonderful song that stand as open rebuke to the Christian world that has lost the zeal for missionary and straitness of the word. Thus the church faces no opposition since the bare same resemblance to the world. None will makes through bed of roses while other strive hard to enter through the straight gate. Lord Have mercy for we are encompassed with so great cloud of witness. How the shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation
waking up every day with the words of this song on our lips. waht a battle cry! we are in a spiritual battle. but praise be to God '" it is finished!" Christ has triumphed!
The words are so powerful and so convicting. The version we sang in our church had different music than is provided here. It was more (appropriately) somber and hence convicting to me. Nevertheless, I want to keep these words displayed in my workplace and office to keep me focused on how I am called to live.
For example, when he worked on hymns, he struggled to find words that rhymed. It was hard for him to differentiate between the sounds of slightly different syllables. Many of the hymns that he worked on have imperfect rhymes for these sounds. Sometimes, I would point out these errors, and he was genuinely willing to learn. The structure of Chinese poetry is such that long lines cannot rhyme with short lines, and odd and even lines should have an alternating rhyme pattern. For example, if a hymn has alternating lines of eight syllables and six syllables, the odd lines of eight syllables should rhyme, and the even lines of six syllables should rhyme. The only exception is when the lines of the poem are the same length; then the couplets can rhyme. However, Brother Nee did not follow this rule. Instead, he rhymed lines containing eight syllables with lines containing six syllables. For example, the first verse of the Chinese Hymns, #468 says, "If I veer slightly from the way,/ I'll then in comfort stay; / But I remember my Lord, how / He with suff'ings did bow." [Editor's note: This translation is provided to reflect the eight-six meter rhyme scheme.] This hymn has an eight-six meter; therefore, the odd lines of eight syllables should rhyme, and the even lines of six syllables should rhyme.
Although Brother Nee accepted my fellowship and wanted to revise hymns containing improper rhyme patterns, he was unable to do so because he had written them in a way that if he changed a single character, the meaning would suffer some loss. Chinese Hymns, #468 and also English Hymns, #472, which says, "Many crowd the Savior's kingdom, / Few receive His cross," were both favorite hymns among us in the 1950s because they really touch one's heart. We were often brought to tears while singing them. Since we have seen more of God's central lane and His New Testament economy, we do not sing these hymns as much as before. When I worked on the second edition of the Chinese Hymns, I followed all the rules of Chinese poetry.
