I used to sing "Keep your eyes off my thighs" instead! I have a habit of altering the lyrics of kingdom songs a bit and have gotten away with it so far!

I agree with you Gopher about "O Walk With God" being a good choon, most unlike Kingdom Melodies!
Farkel....was that a remix of From house to House?>?? nice touch with the yappy dog in it!
I left just when they got the baby-shit brown song book which had a bunch of new JW hymns. Don't remember any of them though. There was a JW hymn from the pink song book which had a rather martial sound to it. I think the words were Firm and determined, or something like that.
Athanasius
Athanasius: I think the song you are referring to is Forward you Witnesses.
(From memory)
Firm and determined in this time of the end
Prepared are Gods servents the good news to defend.
Something something undaunted
Something something ?????
Then forward you witnesses ever strong of heart
Something something something
Go tell far and wide God's new order is near
and something about rich blessings will be here.
(hey it's been a while since I had to sing that one).
But, one of my favorites has always been Fear them not!!
Supposedly, it was written by a brother in a concentration camp.
Singing that song while knowing the history behind it always gave me a shiver in my spine
Yep.....but still wondering what happend to Keep your eyes on the Prize........
I don't like a single one.
I go way back, and it appears that they have gone through several song books in the interum. It has been a long time, and my memory of the songs has faded. There were two I liked: Take sides with Jehovah and The swoard of the Lord and of Gideon. Are they still extant? By the way, they made a major change in the song book just before I left. I was devastated. The old songs were good; the new ones were crappy.
'Jehovah Himself Has Become King!'
"God's Loyal Love"
"Move Ahead" (just the music: stirring march ; yucky lyrics, tho)
I liked that one with the really heavy evil-sounding piano accompaniment:
See yonder through the breadth of earth
The sight my heart entrances !!!!!Jehovah's band of warriors
In unity advances !!!!!
Can't remember the title of it.
Still remembering:
"Oh Shulamite maiden, so lovely and fair,
Your spiritual virtues are many and rare."
Struggling to remember the rest. But I know that song was play at many a JW ceremony (the one few "hot" passages in the bible!)
