Jesus, the Son of God, is the conquering King of Kings. He is no hippy, pansy, or pacifist. He came to seek and save the lost and to patiently bear His cross for sinners. To Him belongs all the world because He did not take Satan's false promise but laid His life down for us to the point of a humiliating death on the cross all while we were still sinners and hating Him and His grace. He crushed the devil under His feet and will one day come again to judge the quick and the dead. To Him belongs all authority on heaven and on earth and it is our duty to follow in His train and in the example set by the saints who have gone before us.
Note: My recording is a poor example of how this song ought to be sung. It needs to be sung in all four parts by a noble army of men, boys, matrons, and maids. To really understand the beauty of this song, one must sing it with God's people who know how to give Him glory while singing their parts robustly, with courage, and with skill. The lyrics were written by Reginald Heber in 1812.
The Son of God goes forth to war
A kingly crown to gain.
His blood-red banner streams afar;
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink His cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below--
He follows in His train.
The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong--
Who follows in his train?
A glorious band, the chosen few,
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints--their hope they knew
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks their death to feel--
Who follows in their train?
A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Through peril, toil, and pain.
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train!

If you are going to sing the song that I wrote, I would at least appreciate acknowledgment as the composer. You noted the author of the text but not of the music. Thank you!
Sorry about that brother! I posted this song before I realized you had written the music. Great tune. We sing it at church all the time.
Not to be divisive, but our hymnal has this song, and it says written by Reginald Heber (lyrics) and Henry S. Cutler (composer). Did @gregorywilbur do something different with it?
@@coffeetime2936 yes @gregorywilbur wrote the tune sung in this recording. The melody in your hymnal is another glorious one: czcams.com/video/ljmykqz5vPk/video.html
@@joecstout will you post this on your Spotify account?
I LOVE singing this song to this tune. My children love it as well. We also sing Psalm 110 in the ARP Psalter to this same tune. It fits beautifully. Thank you for blessing the wider church with the composition.
This has been in my head since connery sang it in the man who would be king.
I never knew that man could sing
Yeah it was brilliant ,called dravots farewell but it’s not on Spotify sadly.
Me 2.
This was the hymnal sung at Gen. George S. Patton's funeral on December 1945.
I'm not sure how many times I've listened to this video, but your rendition is among my all-time favorites. Thank you so much! From Charlottesville, Virginia

Amazing rendition, beautiful Arrangement!
Great presentation of this song. I shared it on a few forums. Everyone loves you.
Think not of tomarow but of today. Today we Fight!
Joe I’m such a huge fan! Really looking forward to seeing this song and the others on iTunes!
Thanks brother Stout. I will make an effort to recreate this just as you described. God Bless you. Sister Soom
Great work on this one👍
I love this! Very inspiring!
Very well sung. Great version.
I really like this song, and I was thinking of maybe sampling a piece of it
Amazing! Love this so much! Where can I get the sheet or chord music for this?
nice interpretation
everything about this is awesome! where can i find the whole picture tho?
Interesting having it set to such a different cadence from what it was originally written for in 1812.
Can this be added to your Spotify? Also, would you tell us something about the art in the video? Thanks!
Is this an original tune? I love it.
So this is how the song goes, much different from 'The Man who would be King.'
Does anyone know what is the painting or stained glass image that is?
Most likely a stained glass window portraying St. George. He is commonly picturing fighting/killing a serpent/dragon of some kind.
Any way to get the chord chart?
How do I buy this version!
Is there a chord chart for this somewhere?

what is that stainless steel in the thumbnail
joe what is the name of this tune?
It's not all saints, or even all saints new.
The son of God goes forth to war by Reginald Herber
@@RaptureHead1 He means the tune, not the poem.
According to Hymanry.org, Henry Stephen Cutler composed ALL SAINTS NEW in 1872 for Reginald Heber's text "The Son of God Goes Forth to War," and the two were published together in Hymnal with Tunes, Old and New (1872).
Beautiful and well sung. What is the tune name?
The Son of God goes forth to war by Reginald Herber
What picture is in the video?
If you’re asking where or what that specific window is called, I don’t know.
However it is a depiction of this:
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
This prophecy pertains to Jesus Christ defeating Satan yet having his own heel bruised (the crucifixion).
Revelation 20:2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Revelation 20:11
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
St George in the lower half of stained-glass window. (but for the Dragon I would've said Saint Michael)
It is beautifully done, but The son of God goes forth to war?? Defiantly not the Jesus I know. The original version “The Minstrel-Boy” makes more sense.
Revelation’s Jesus isn’t going to war?
Therefore it says,
“When He ascended on high,
He led captive a host of captives,
And He gave gifts to men.”
- Ephesians 4:8
When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.
- Colossians 2:15
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.
- Revelation 19:11
But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
- Isaiah 11:4
Who is this who comes from Edom,
With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah,
This One who is majestic in His apparel,
Marching in the greatness of His strength?
“It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?
“I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no man with Me.
I also trod them in My anger
And trampled them in My wrath;
And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I stained all My raiment.
“For the day of vengeance was in My heart,
And My year of redemption has come.
“I looked, and there was no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
“I trod down the peoples in My anger
And made them drunk in My wrath,
And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
- Isaiah 63:1-6
Cultural differences. I am a UK European, and you are in the USA. We see this World and the next from different angles and always will, let it be so.
@@marcusparker-rhodes417 We're all one culture in in Christ, maintaining our real distinctions. How does that apply to the biblical descriptions of Jesus?
not the best tune for this song
Wrong 😀
