Partners of a glorious hope! Lift your hearts and voices up; Nobly let us bear the strife, Keep the holiness, of life;
Still forget the things behindPhil 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Phil 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. , Follow God in heart and mind, To the mark unwearied pressPhil 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. , Seize the crown of righteousnessII Tim 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. .
In our lives our faith be known, Faith by holy actions shown; Faith that mountains can removeMatt 17:14 ¶And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, Matt 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. Matt 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Matt 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. Matt 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. Matt 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? Matt 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt 21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. Matt 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. Matt 21:20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Matt 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. Matt 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. , Faith that always works by love.

Still, still with thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with thee.
So shall it be at last, in that bright morning When the thought waketh and life's shadows flee: Oh, in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with thee.
Prayer.

Go forth to life, O child of earth! Still mindful of thy heavenly birth: Thou art not here for ease, or sin, But manhood's noble crown to win,
Go on from innocence of youth To manly pureness, manly truth; God's angels still are near to save, And God himself doth help the brave.
Then forth to life, O child of earth! Be worthy of thy heavenly birth! For noble service thou art here; Thy brothers help, thy God revere!
Benediction.
