Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You

Author: Wilhelm Erasmus Arends, 1677-1721; John M. Sloan, 1835-after 1890 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you, O Christians, lest the foe destroy you; For Satan has designed your fall. Wield God’s word, the weapon glorious; Against all foes be thus victorious, For God protects you from them all. Fear not the hordes of hell, Here is Emmanuel. Hail the Savior! The strong foes yield To Christ, our shield, And we, the victors, hold the field. 2 Cast afar this world’s vain pleasure And boldly strive for heav'nly treasure. Be steadfast in the Savior’s might. Trust the Lord, who stands beside you, For Jesus from all harm will hide you. By faith you conquer in the fight. Take courage, weary soul! Look forward to the goal! Joy awaits you. The race well run, Your long war won, Your crown shines splendid as the sun. 3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting; The hours of grace are fast retreating; Short, short is this our earthly way. When the Lord the dead will waken And sinners all by fear are shaken, The saints with joy will greet that day. Praise God, our triumph’s sure. We need not long endure Scorn and trial. Our Savior King His own will bring To that great glory which we sing. Topics: The Church Militant Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18 Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

Christ, Of Holiness The Fountain

Author: H. Brueckner; Bartholomaeus Crasselius Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Christ, of holiness the Fountain! Lyrics: 1 Christ, of holiness the Fountain! As crystal waters from the mountain, So doth Thy cleansing grace descend. All the cherubim in glory, And seraphim of sacred story, Compared to Thee no brightness lend. Thou my example be And mold me after Thee, Blessed Savior! O Jesus true, help me to do Thy holy will each day anew. 2 Christ, submissive, unrebelling, And in Thy Father's will e'er dwelling, Obeying Him thro'out Thy life,-- Even so, in fullest measure, Would I perform Thy will and pleasure And overcome all inner strife. May I submissive be, That, modeled after Thee, O my Savior, God's will I do each day anew, While I my duty's path pursue. 3 Christ, all gentleness possessing, And patient e'er in woes distressing, No vengeance wreaking on the foe, Thou wast meek, tho' zealous ever, And all Thy zeal impelled Thee never Beyond the rightful bounds to go. My Savior, help Thou me A gentle soul to be. Blessed Jesus, My heart imbue with meekness true. Yet ev'ry day my zeal renew. 4 Christ, O Son of God most holy, Thou didst become a servant lowly, No honors seeking of Thine own. In humility transcending, To lowly service gladly bending, No haughty mien of Thine is known. Lord Jesus, help Thou me To pattern after Thee, Who art lowly, Let me each day pursue Thy way, And make me humble, Lord, I pray. 5 Make me then, O dearest Savior, Thine image in my whole behavior, That I Thy holiness may share. Let Thy Spirit, Lord, pervade me And by His inner promptings aid me The noble fruits of faith to bear. Lord Jesus, draw Thou me E'er nearer unto Thee; O my Savior, With all things best may I be blest, And where Thou art find perfect rest.

"Wake, arise!" the voice is calling

Author: Philipp Nicolai Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "Wake, arise!" the voice is calling; The watchman's voice on quick ear falling, "Jerusalem, awake, arise! For the midnight hour is fleeting;" So with clear voice, they stand repeating: "O where are ye, ye virgins wise; The bridegroom is at hand, Take up your lamps and stand! Hallelujah! Each wedding guest Fit for the feast, Arise, go forth to meet your Lord." 2 Zion hears the watchman's singing, And now with joyous heart upspringing, She stands and on the call attends. Her Friend comes from heaven glorious, Strong in His grace, in truth victorious; Her light shines bright, her star ascends. "Now come, thou Blessed One, Lord Jesus, God's own Son." Hallelujah! We enter all The banquet hall, And feast there with our heavenly King. 3 "Glory unto Thee be given, By men and by the host of heaven, With harps and with the cymbals' tone. Twelve pearls are Thy city's portals, Wherein we dwell with the immortals, With angels high around Thy throne. No eye hath seen such sight, No ear heard such delight, Hallelujah! Thine hour is this, O Heavenly Bliss, Thine now, and shall be evermore!"

How brightly shines the Morning Star

Author: John M. Sloan; Philipp Nicolai; J. A. Schlegel Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How brightly shines the Morning Star! What ray divine stream from afar! God’s glory there is shining. Bright beam of God, which scatters night, And guides the wandering soul aright, Which after truth is pining! Jesus, God’s Word, truth revealing, Sorrow healing, Soothe our sighing, Dry our tears, and end our dying. 2 My comfort here, my joy above, Man’s Son, Son of the Father’s love, Enthroned in highest heaven, With my whole heart Thy praise I sing; To Thee, our Prophet, Priest, and King, Be endless honors given. Saviour, to Thee, trusting, clinging, Come I bringing Soul and spirit, Thee, my portion, to inherit. 3 Aid me, my God, to sing Thy praise, Thine ageless love, Thy matchless grace, In Christ, our Lord appearing. When such a gift God gave for thee, When such a brother true is He, Why still my soul be fearing? Choose Him, know Him, greatest, dearest, Best and nearest, To befriend thee ‘Gainst all foes who may offend thee. Used With Tune: NICOLAI
