Watchfulness and Prayer

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XCVIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Alas what hourly dangers rise Lyrics: 1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To Heaven O let me lift my eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears; My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears. 3 O gracious God! in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid, Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Tho' trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 Whene'er temptations fright my heart, Or lure my feet aside, My God, thy powerful aid impart, My guardian and my guide. 6 O keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee; And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee.

Fortitude

Author: Watts Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies, On flowery beds of ease; While others fought to win the prize, And sail'd through bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the cross, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints in all this glorious war, Shall conquer tho' they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine.

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: And have I Christ no love to thee Lyrics: 1 And have I, Christ, no love to thee, No passion for thy charms? No wish my Saviour's face to see, And dwell within his arms? 2 Is there no spark of gratitude In this cold heart of mine, To him whose generous bosom glow'd With friendship all divine? 3 Can I pronounce his charming name, His acts of kindness tell; And, while I dwell upon the theme, No sweet emotion feel? 4 Such base ingratitude as this What heart but must detest! Sure Christ deserves the noblest place In every human breast. 5 A very wretch, Lord, I should prove, Had I no love to thee: Rather than not my Saviour love, O may I cease to be!
