Author of life, with reason's dawn
Soldiers of the Cross, arise!
Author: Bishop W. Walsham How Hymnal: The Book of Common Praise #274 (1939) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Christian Character Tune Title: INNOCENTS
Soldiers of the Cross, arise!
So let our lips and lives express
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #274 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine!
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honours of our Savior God,
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the pow'r of sin.
3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temp'rance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessèd hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on His Word.
Languages: English
So let our lips and lives express
I want a principle within
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #275 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 I want a principle within
of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin,
a pain to feel it near.
2 That I from thee no more may part,
No more thy goodness grieve:
The filial awe, the loving heart,
The tender conscience give;
3 A heart resign'd, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer's throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
4 Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.
5 If to the right or left I stray,
That moment, Lord, reprove;
And let me mourn, and weep, and pray,
For having griev'd thy love!
6 O! may the least omission pain
My well-instructed soul;
That I may find that grace again,
Which makes the wounded whole. Languages: English
I want a principle within
What strange perplexities arise!
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #276 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 What strange perplexities arise!
What anxious fears and jealousies!
What crowds in doubtful light appear!
How few, alas, approv'd and clear!
2 And what am I?--my soul, awake,
And an impartial survey take.
Does no dark sign, no ground of fear,
In practice or in heart appear?
3 What image does my spirit bear?
Is Jesus form'd and living there?
Say, do His lineaments divine
In thought, and word, and action shine?
4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still;
The secrets of my soul reveal;
My fears remove; let me appear
To God and my own conscience clear!

Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #277 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place,
Great God, and dwell before thy face?
The man who loves religion now,
And humbly walk with God below;
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean,
Whose lips shall speak the things they mean.
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do a neighbor wrong.
3 He will not trust an ill report,
Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt;
Sinners of state he can despise,
But saints are honour'd in his eyes.
4 Firm to his word he ever stood,
And always makes his promise good:
Nor will he change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.
5 He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold.
If others vex and grind the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.
6 He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same,
That he could hope or wish from them.
7 Yet, when his holiest works are done,
His soul depends on grace alone.
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell for ever, Lord! with thee. Languages: English
Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place
Great God! whose all-pervading eye
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #278 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Great God! whose all-pervading eye
Sees ev'ry passion of my soul!
When sunk too low, or rais'd too high,
Teach me those passions to control.
2 Temper the fervours of my frame;
Be charity their constant spring;
And O, let no unhallowed flame
Pollute the offerings I bring.
3 Let peace with piety unite,
To mend the bias of my will;
While hope and heav'n-ey'd faith excite,
And wisdom regulates, my zeal:
4 That wisdom, which to meekness turns:
Wisdom descending from above;
And let my zeal, whene'er it burns,
Be kindled by the fire of love.

Great God! whose all-pervading eye
Th' uplifted eye, and bended knee
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #280 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Th' uplifted eye and bended knee,
Are but vain homage, Lord! to thee
In vain our lips thy praise prolong,
The heart a stranger to the song.
2 Can rites, and forms, and flaming zeal,
The breaches of thy precepts heal?
Or fasts and penance reconcile
Thy justice, and obtain thy smile?
3 The pure, the humble, contrite mind,
Sincere, and to thy will resign'd,
To thee a nobler off'ring yields
Than Sheba’s groves, or Sharon’s fields.
4 Love God and man:—this great command
Doth on eternal pillars stand.
This did Thine ancient prophets teach,
This did the great Messiah preach. Languages: English
Th' uplifted eye, and bended knee
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #281 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech, that angels use:
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell
All that is done in heav'n and hell;
Or could my faith the world remove,
Still I am nothing without love.
3 Should I distribute all my store
To feed the bowels of the poor,
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name:
4 If love to God, and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal,
The work of love can e'er fulfil.
