| Added by crosby3145, 26 Sep 2019 Often, at Northgate Baptist Church in Norman, Oklahoma, our songleader will call out "#485--Onward, Christian Soldiers." Whenever he does that, we know he really means 422. The reason for this mistake is that 485 IS also Onward, Christian Soldiers, but it's not the Arthur Sullivan tune that has become so associated with the words. Rather, it's an ambitious setting by the British composer W.H. Jude which uses one tune for verses 1 and 3 and a different tune for verses 2 and 4. This complexity, plus the way it is written, make it very difficult, which is part of the reason it isn't as well known as Sullivan's version. However, it's one of those tunes that, once you learn it, is well worth the effort. Jude pulls out all the stops, and his triumphant writing creates a feeling of grandeur and victory as you read it--a fitting setting for words such as "We have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail!" | |||
