Freedom and life are ours

Author: Christopher Martin Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #471 (2004) Languages: English Tune Title: FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #544 (1987) Lyrics: 1 Freedom and life are ours for Christ has set us free! never again submit to powers that lead to slavery: Christ is the Lord who breaks our chains, our bondage ends, Christ is the rescuer who makes the helpless slaves his friends. 2 Called by the Lord to use our freedom and be strong, not letting liberty excuse a life of blatant wrong: freed from the law's stern hand God's gift of grace to prove, know that the law's entire demand is gladly met by love. 3 Spirit of God, come, fill, emancipate us all! speak to us, Word of truth, until before his throne we fall: glory and liberty our Father has decreed, and if the Son shall make us free we shall be free indeed!

Soldiers of Christ, arise

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Together in Song #570 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armour on, strong in the strength which God supplies through his eternal Son; strong in the Lord of Hosts, and in his mighty power, who in the strength of Jesus trusts is more than conqueror. 2 Stand then in his great might, with all his strength endued; and take, to arm you for the fight, the panoply of God; that, having all things done, and all your conflicts passed, you may o'ercome through Christ alone, and stand entire at last. 3 Stand then against your foes, in close and firm array; legions of wily fiends oppose throughout the evil day: but meet the sons of night, and mock their vain design armed in the arms of heavenly light, of righteousness divine. 4 Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul; take every virtue, every grace, and fortify the whole; in him for ever joined, to battle all proceed; but arm yourselves with all the mind that was in Christ, your Head.

Maker, in Whom We Live

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #329 (1998) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Maker, in whom we live, in whom we are and move, the glory, power, and praise receive for thy creating love. Let all the angel throng give thanks to God on high, while earth repeats the joyful song and echoes to the sky. 2 Incarnate Deity, let all the ransomed race render in thanks their lives to thee for thy redeeming grace. The grace to sinners shown, ye heavenly choirs proclaim, and cry, "Salvation to our God, salvation to the Lamb!" 3 Spirit of holiness, let all thy saints adore thy sacred energy, and bless thine heart-renewing power. No angel tongues can tell thy love's ecstatic height, the glorious joy unspeakable, the beatific sight. 4 Eternal, triune God, let all the hosts above, let all on earth below record and dwell upon thy love. When heaven and earth are fled before thy glorious face, sing all the saints thy love hath made thine everlasting praise.
