Till lektor Enar Sahlin som tänkte tanken om borgargardet

Till dem som tänkte tanken om borgargardet
Förlåt en yngling som kommer för sent, och vevar en
slagdänga blott!
Och jag tycker jag liksom i drömmen små ögonblick lyckats
se
Det är han som gillar det rätta, vars hjärta för
sanning slog,
Det är han som är konstens beskyddare, och delar ut åt
de små,
Och allt vad hederligt arbetsfolk med möda och slit utan slut
Bakom honom smyger en magrare karl, och deltar i ropen om bröd,

Daily, daily sing the praises | The Red Banner of Christ | melodin i midiformat | melodin i midiformat |
Daily, daily sing the praises
Of the City God hath made; In the beauteous fields of Eden Its foundation stones are laid; We will not cease from battle
Nor the sword sleep in our hand Till Jerusalem is builded In our green and pleasant land! All the walls of that dear City
Are of bright and burnished gold; It is matchless in this beauty, And its treasures are untold; We will not cease from battle
Nor the sword sleep in our hand Till Jerusalem is builded In our green and pleasant land! In the midst of that dear City
Christ is reigning on his seat, and the Angels swing their censers In a ring about his feet: We will not cease from battle
Nor the sword sleep in our hand Till Jerusalem is builded In our green and pleasant land! From the throne a river issues,
Clear as crystal, passing bright, And it traverses the City Like a beam of living light: We will not cease from battle
Nor the sword sleep in our hand Till Jerusalem is builded In our green and pleasant land! There the meadows green and dewey
Shine with lilies wondrous fair; Thousand, thousand are the colours Of the waving flowers there: We will not cease from battle
Nor the sword sleep in our hand Till Jerusalem is builded In our green and pleasant land! There the forests ever blossom,
Like our orchards here in May; There the gardens never wither, But eternally are gay: We will not cease from battle
Nor the sword sleep in our hand Till Jerusalem is builded In our green and pleasant land! There the wind is sweetly fragrant,
And is laden with the song Of the Seraphs, and the Elders, And the great redeemed throng: We will not cease from battle
Nor the sword sleep in our hand Till Jerusalem is builded In our green and pleasant land! O I would my ears were open
Here to catch that happy strain! O I would my eyes some vision Of that Eden could attain! We will not cease from battle Nor the sword sleep in our hand Till Jerusalem is builded In our green and pleasant land! |
The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar! Who follows in his train? Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Within its shade we'll live and die; Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer We'll keep the red flag flying here! The Martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on him to save. Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Within its shade we'll live and die; Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer We'll keep the red flag flying here! Like him, with pardon on his tongue
In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them who did him wrong! Who follows in his train? Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Within its shade we'll live and die; Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer We'll keep the red flag flying here! A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came. Twelve valiant Saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Within its shade we'll live and die; Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer We'll keep the red flag flying here! They met the tyrant's brandish'd steel,
The lion's gory mane, They bowed their necks the death to feel; Who follows in their train? Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Within its shade we'll live and die; Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer We'll keep the red flag flying here! A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice In robes of light arrayed. Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Within its shade we'll live and die; Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer We'll keep the red flag flying here! They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain; O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Then raise the scarlet standard high;
Within its shade we'll live and die; Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer We'll keep the red flag flying here! |

Onward, Christian Soldiers Original text och midi |
Christians at war text: John F. Kendrick melodi: Onward, Christian Soldiers |
Onward, Christian soldiers! Duty's way is plain; Slay your Christian neighbors, or by them be slain, Pulpiteers are spouting effervescent swill, God above is calling you to rob and rape and kill, All your acts are sanctified by the Lamb on high; If you love the Holy Ghost, go murder, pray and die.
Onward, Christian soldiers! Rip and tear and smite!
Onward, Christian soldiers! Eat and drink your fill;
Onward, Christian soldiers! Drench the land with gore;
Onward, Christian soldiers! Blight all that you meet; |
