ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!

Lisboa, Portugal, 2009



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

Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.



At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee;
on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
(Refrain)



Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
one in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
(Refrain)



Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
but the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never against that church prevail;
we have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.
(Refrain)



Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
this through countless ages men and angels sing.
(Refrain)

Incrível e insólito, esta música faz-me sentir uma nostalgia dos meus tempos de criança!
Mesmo assim o convite não me é muito apelativo. :-)

Acho admiravelmente perverso escutar as celestiais vozinhas infantis a cantar enormidades como
"Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before. Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; forward into battle see his banners go!".

Pois é. Muito perverso mesmo. O mais incrível é que eu cantava esta música com 8, 9, 10 anos e acho que nunca tomei consciência do significado das palavras, das ideias nela implícitas. O prazer vinha da melodia e de cantar. Ainda bem!
A verdade é que nas nossas escolas também se ensina os feitos das Cruzadas...

É a password para a jihad cristã, na tenda de campanha dos bravos soldados de cristo.

Hoje de madrugada, por volta das 10, era meia dúzia de jovens ardendo de fé no senhor e tocando baladas à Fanhais. Genuflecti e orei a S. Dawkins.

Flano sempre. Já te disse que resolvo por aí relevantes e semanais questões de ordem estética. Mas algo em mim se alegrou quando constatei que também me era oferecida a passibilidade de sanar as maleitas do espírito.
