Waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing,

Victory is nigh!

"Hold the Fort, for I am coming,"
Jesus signals still!

Wave the answer back to heaven,
"By Thy grace we will."

2 See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on:

Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone!

3 See the glorious banner waving!
Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader's name we'll triumph
Over every foe!

4 Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near:
Onward comes our great Commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!

THERE is a gate that stands ajar,
And through its portals gleam-
A radiance from the cross afar, [ing
The Saviour's love revealing.

Oh, depth of mercy! can it be
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me, for me, for me, for me?
Was left ajar for me?

2 That gate ajar stands free for all Who seek through it salvation; The rich and poor, the great and Of every tribe and nation. [small, 3 Press onward then, though foes may frown,

While mercy's gate is open; Accept the cross, and win the crown, Love's everlasting token.

4 Beyond the river's brink we'll lay
The cross that here is given,
And bear the crown of life away,
And love Him more in heaven.

Oh, when shall I be dwelling Where angel voices, swelling

In triumphant hallelujahs, make the vaulted heavens ring ?- [ing, Where the pearly gates are gleamAnd the Morning Star is beaming!- [sence of the King? Oh, when shall I be yonder in the pre5 Oh, when shall I be yonder?

The longing growing stronger To join in all the praises the redeeméd ones do sing,

Within those heavenly places, Where the angels veil their faces In awe and adoration in the presence of the King.

Oh, I shall soon be yonder,

All lonely as I wander,

Waiting for the welcome summons, longing for the bird's fleet wing.

Though the midnight may be dreary,

And the way be long and weary, There's no more shadow yonder in the presence of the King.

STANDING by a purpose true,
Heeding God's command,
Honour them, the faithful few!

All hail to Daniel's Band!

Dare to be a Daniel! Dare to stand alone! Dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known!

2 Many mighty men are lost,
Daring not to stand,
Who for God had been a host,
By joining Daniel's Band.
3 Many giants, great and tall,

Stalking through the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall,
If met by Daniel's Band!

4 Hold the gospel banner high!
On to victory grand!
Satan and his host defy,

And shout for Daniel's Band!

HAVE you on the Lord believed?
Still there's more to follow;

Of His grace have you received P
Still there's more to follow;
Oh, the grace the Father shows!
Still there's more to follow!
Freely He His grace bestows,
Still there's more to follow.
More and more, more and more,
Always more to follow;

Oh, His matchless, boundless love!
Still there's more to follow.

Have you felt the Saviour near?
Does His blesséd presence cheer?
Oh, the love that Jesus shows!
Freely He His love bestows!

3 Have you felt the Spirit's power?-
Falling like the gentle shower?
Oh, the power the Spirit shows!
Freely He His power bestows!

THERE'S a land that is fairer than day,

For the Father waits over the way,
And by faith we can see it afar,
To prepare us a dwelling-place there.
In the sweet by-and-by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by-and-by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
2

We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blest; And our spirits shall sorrow no moreNot a sigh for the blessing of rest.
