She has consistently refused to have her hymns copyrighted, believing that no hindrance should be put in the way of any one who desires to use them. Up to 1930 nearly 400 hymns had appeared from Miss Hoppe's pen. Her ambition is to write a thousand original Christian lyrics. A Song of Victory Rise, ye children of salvation, All who cleave to Christ, the Head! Wake, arise, O mighty nation, Ere the foe on Zion tread: He draws nigh, and would defy All the hosts of God Most High. Saints and heroes, long before us, Firmly on this ground have stood; See their banner waving o'er us, Conquerors through the Saviour's blood! Ground we hold whereon of old Fought the faithful and the bold. Fighting, we shall be victorious By the blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of His Word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great Name; we cannot yield. When His servants stand before Him, Each receiving his reward-- When His saints in light adore Him, Giving glory to the Lord-- "Victory!" our song shall be, Like the thunder of the sea. Justus Falckner, 1697. SURVEY OF AMERICAN LUTHERAN HYMNODY It is a significant fact that the first Lutheran pastor to be ordained in America was a hymn-writer.
