The Finale & Epilogue

Song 9: “Onward Christian Soldiers"

Onward Christian soldiers, marching as_t_o_ war,
with the Cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ the royal Master leads against the foe;
forward into battle, see his banners go: Onward...

Onward then ye people, join our happy throng,
blend with ours your voices in the triumph song:
glory, praise and honour unto Christ the King,

this through countless ages men and angels sing: Onward...

Song 10: “God Save the Queen” - V2 Peace verse 1860

Lord, let Wars tempest cease,
Fold the whole Earth in peace under thy wings.
Make all thy nations one, All hearts beneath the sun,
Till Thou shalt reign alone, Great King of kings!

Thy choicest gifts in store on her be pleased to pour,
long may she reign.
May she defend our laws, and ever give us cause
to sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen.

Leaving: You are invited to look at the story-board and the
memorials in church, then the marked headstones in the
churchyard and to enjoy refreshments in the Old Vicarage.

Hark, hark the organ loudly sounds,
Our thankful hearts inviting to sing our great Creator's praise,
Both rich and poor uniting;
Ye heavens and earth rejoice and every heart and voice
Your joyous strains upraise
In notes of endless praise before His throne for ever.

Hark, hark the organ loudly sounds,
Our thankful hearts inviting to high upraise our songs of praise,
Both rich and poor uniting;
To God the father, Son, and Spirit three in One,
Till soaring higher and higher
We join the heavenly choir before his throne for ever. AMEN
